Mike is a trained gardener/designer from the UK staying with me for three weeks. He is helping me around the garden in exchange for room and board. He is also a good cook as well. I am very grateful to have him here since I have been nursing very bad shoulder the past month or so (seems like three months). He has been a great help as well as a new garden helper I hired three weeks ago. Mike is a likable and funny guy and loves Barbados. This is his third visit and the first with a bajan family. He has given me some great advice as well as learning about tropicals. He plans to come back and he will be welcomed with open arms.
Helen, I need one of those guys for about a week or two maybe. Wouldn't it be nice to give all my garden needs(a long list) to one strong back and put him to work. I hope your shoulder gets better fast... I know you have a lot coming up for Christmas.

Yes Meems I will send him onto you when he is finished here LOL. I think am suffering from rotor cuff injury, I had it in the other shoulder 3 years ago and went to the doctor who x-rayed it and couldn't find anything. I then went to a therapist who did some ultra sound and some electronic stuff on it for 6 sessions. Nothing helped. I went onto the net and found some exercises and did them for several weeks (many many) and one day I was able to lift my arm above my head and around the back. I am awaiting that day . It seems to be getting a bit better but it is still painful at night. Well old age ain't no fun. LOL
