Ridiculously busy day

[bill_schubert]

I've got two things for which I'm obligated today, twice as many as usual.  The pressure is unbearable.

My in home therapist comes at 10:30 or so.  I'm doing amazingly well IMHO and in hers.  I frequently forget that I had a total shoulder replacement six weeks ago.  My scar is even fading with some help of Scar Away and my massaging.

I can't lift anything too heavy but more every day and all the normal stuff like reaching over to pull a tissue out of the box is easy now.  I'm truly amazed at how quickly it is healing and will be interested to see the x-ray at the doc's next week.

My second obligation today is lunch with my networking group.  The four of us are meeting for the second time IRL at a Mexican restaurant near here.  It is a slight risk but certainly less than riding my bike on the road.  And the food is better.

Fortunately I'll be able to return to the house and rest after all the activity and tomorrow is quiet so I can recover.

When do you start outpatient therapy?

My last home therapy is tomorrow. I see the Ortho on Wednesday and have my first outpatient on the 13th. I anticipate the doc will release me for anything as long as it doesn't hurt. I can still feel my deltoid is not yet fully happy. Twinges at the limit points and I don't much reach behind me and I don't fully support my weight in a pushup kind of thing or bike riding. But that all gets just a little better each day. I'm thrilled with my progress and frequently forget that I'm not even eight weeks out of surgery. Everything feels normal. Until I start to push myself up in bed or something THEN it reminds me.
