Physical Therapy Appointment Today

I have had shoulder pain for a few months now and today I’m going to physical therapy to see if they can give me some relief. The pain is keeping me from doing things to the best of my abilities.

Authorities: 6 killed in horrific Tenn. school bus crash – CBS News – (From November 21, 2016)

One year ago a tragic bus crash in my hometown took the lives of six young students and injured others. It was a day that the city of Chattanooga will never forget. Tragedies like this one make you realize what is important and to know that better angels are out there to help in the chaos. To those Woodmore Elementary families may God bless and keep you on this sad anniversary.
