FINALLY!!! Some progress

So Man had a fit for duty exam last week. That means that he sat down with a dr, they discussed his shoulder, and the dr decided whether it was worth pursuing or if Man was just a stinking malingerer. Dr decided to send Man to an orthopedic dr for further assessment so we can get this shoulder thing figured out. It's getting worse despite months of physical therapy and not doing as much PT.

More good news is that the only thing he's allowed to do right now is situps and if he passes with enough situps in 2 minutes he can be PT exempt. So, that's what he's working on right now. Last night I asked him if he'd tried recently, he said no, so he got on the exercise mat, I held his feet, and in 2 mins he whipped out 73 situps. That was an impressive sight, I tell ya what. He explained that before he wasn't allowed to do situps so he went ahead and kept doing crunches to the tune of 250 per set. That man has some seriously tight abs, underneath the tiny bit of stress fluff he's developed.

In other news, we made some colored ice cubes for Mr Tag. Just put some guava juice in an ice cube tray and since we like it slushy, we add a bit more guava juice to the cup and use the submersible blender on it. That makes me the coolest mom in the world! We used some fruit nectars from Costco that are not too bad on their own but we use them for smoothies quite a bit since they're pretty rich. Non carbonated! We're carbonation wimps.
