Things are going well with my shoulder- much thanks to all my helpers that took time to come all the way to my house and take care of me so I didn't use that arm! The details: It hurts more than I thought it would doing things I didn't expect to have pain with. It's super stiff and I've been a good girl doing all my stretches, but they feel the equivalent to that yoga pose- boat (you know, where you life your legs and arms up, bum on ground and hold? Ouch). Yesterday for the first time, I could move my arm above my head. Unfortunately, I'm not as lucky as other surgery patients and didn't lose any weight- in fact I couldn't get enough food I was so hungry. Physical therapy is supposed to start soon. And the drum roll, please... I got the immobilizer off last week- hence the stretches! As annoying as it was, I do miss it sometimes when I'm sitting for a long time or trying to sleep, those things can be painful. So, I'll be better before you know it- back to doing my own yard work in no time at all, I hope!
