Shoulder status

I went to see the doc today  Two weeks out and they took off the bandage.  I suspect that the technology is a product of the most recent wars.  I did not have external stiches but instead my wound was glued together and a special type of clear tape was put on it.  They put some Vaseline on it today and then the tape came right off and the wound is just a scratch.  I forget to ask but there may be internal stiches or maybe more glue.  Regardless it looks great and feels pretty good.  Now is the time I'll overdo and regret it.  But that has to happen sometime.

 The doc didn't have much to say.  More of the same.  Don't be stupid (he didn't say that but it summarizes his intent).   I go back in a month for an xray and keep up the PT until then.  From this point forward my progress is in the hands of the Physical Therapists.  The big day for me will be when I can tie back my own hair.  Dana is infinitely patient with me but I like doing most things myself.
