Beginning of PT

In the category of so far, so good, my shoulder began its journey from being something I had to be careful about to something I'm building up.  But for a few things such as hold a weight out to my side, pretty much any weight more than my arm, and putting weight on my arms out front such as pushups or riding a bike, I'm nearly healed.  My deltoid (which I suspect had to be cut through or pushed apart like a drape to get to the top of my humerus) still gets annoyed by too much work so I'm a bit careful of it but now I'll try anything.  If it hurts like a sharp pain rather than a pain typical of any workout I pull back and assess.  But otherwise I'll do anything, move any way I want.  The feeling is rather nice, like a good stretch.

My appointment with the PT went well.  I think she's about 15 years old but than kind of thing happens a lot now days.  Children running the world.  And she was late.  My appointment was for 3 and started at 3:11.  No acknowledgement of being late or apology or any apparent reason why.  So I was pissed off to start.  I have zero tolerance for someone who does not value my time equally with their own.  Years of theater and military experience they don't have.
