Recovery Part 3

Eleven weeks post surgery and I can finally use my right arm. I am not even close to full recovery, however great progress has been made. Around week 5 the sling was abandoned and physical therapy began. Each session of treatment along with twice daily exercises felt excruciating. The exceptionally well trained therapists persisted in doing what they were trained to do.

The first challenge that concerned me was driving to the sessions. I accomplished that deed leaving me then with only the matter of completing the therapy.

Five weeks of the prescribed treatment and here I am. Today I drove myself to a flu shot clinic. Is my surgery shoulder still sore? Yes.

My follow up appointment is next Tuesday. I will see what happens.
