OUCH! YOU’RE HAVING ROTATOR CUFF SURGERY - BLOG #16

Week Twenty-two! When I started this journey, it sounded like a long time for my Type-A self to be limited, but with a little progress and a lot of exercises, it did pass pretty quickly. This week marked my “graduation” from weekly PT visits. Am I 100%? No. But I’ve moved into the next phase.

My last step is to get the arm behind my back, reaching up so I can scratch that itch! My doctor and PT reminded me that the last little bit will take time, work, and a bit of getting back to living.”

It’s taking a bit of work to get the family to stop telling me I can’t do something. I also have to remember that some days will still need some ice, and exercises need to continue. Feel a bit stiff or achy? take 3 minutes and do one of your exercises. You’ll be amazed at the results, and it will help you continue to strengthen your body.

I’ll leave you with this thought… You Got This!
