Feels so bad not to be able to help everyone. Thank you all for the prayers and support, It means a LOT!

Long story short,,,,,I fell and broke the humerus ball of my right arm into several pieces, It is immobilized until surgery scheduled for 7/12. They are doing a shoulder joint replacement,,,,,only option to even TRY to swim again.

I will try to be in touch as I can.

Nancy

ONE YEAR

Prayers up for you Nancy and you help us all plenty.  Believe me.  Like I said in my message I would not have joined the triple digit club tomorrow without your help.  You are saving lives.  Promise.  Now you take care of you.  OK?  And then you get to heal and tell us about your swimming progress.

We love you Nancy.

And CONGRATULATIONS ON ONE YEAR!  THOSE FIREWORKS ARE FOR YOU SWEET FRIEND!

XO,

We are all praying for your healing Nancy. Much love to you. 

Comgrats on your one year victory. Be sure to watch the fireworks that everyone is setting off on your behalf!

Don't know if you saw that Chris blogged your 1 year and lots of family sending you well wishes.

God speed with your healing.

You just focus on resting and healing...there are plenty of people here who are taking up the slack.  ; )  1 year sounds like an incredibly long time to me today, but it also sounds doable, thanks to this group of folks. 
Congratulations!

Oh, Nancy!  I sure hope Dale told you about the sewer backup in my condo building in DC that kept me from calling/coming up last Monday as I had hoped.  I have a few days off as soon as i finish this double-Amsterdam turn.  And I would love to run errands, cook  dinner and watch movies with you.  And, despite what Brenda M says about Maryland drivers...  I AIN'T ASCEERED.

It's awful what happened to your shoulder but wonderful that you are celebrating 1 year.  I'm happy and sad for you all at one time.  Great jog on the year!  I hope your surgery goes well and wishing you a speedy recovery.

Nancy, I recall a blog that you wrote a while back on how excited you were to find that your quit has allowed you to increase your endurance in your swimming.  I am so sorry to hear of your injury.  My quit was 8-19-12 not that long after yours, but long enough that I look up to you in encouragement and guidance as I follow right behind you in your footsteps.  I pray that God removes any pain that you are feeling.

Congratulations a year!!

I miss you and I'm praying for you!!

Love,

Jordan

I am so sorry to hear of this horrible accident.  Good luck on the new shoulder and get better real soon. That new shoulder should get you back to swimming in no time just like the bionic woman.  God Bless you Nancy.   Congrats on 1 year!!  That is so WONDERFUL!!

About the Author
I smoked until a vascular surgeon informed me of the damage I had done to myself by doing so. I quit 11 years ago, and I can swim laps virtually FOREVER now, walk most other days 40 minutes to an hour and a half. What a difference quitting has made in my life! I strive to help others find this wonderful freedom from addiction, too.
