Week 1

I can't sleep. So I decided to blog instead. I am one week and a day past shoulder surgery. I have a feeling I might like to read these along the way. So here we go! 

I had my first post-op appt on Wednesday. I was cleared to shower which in and of it's self was a huge moment. Not showering or washing your hair for a week is too long. 

I was so excited for said shower that I didn't pay much attention to my shoulder. 

I can take it out of the sling. It's stiff, it's sore and it doesn't work. That probably sounded funny because I just had surgery but my arm doesn't work. 

I can't pick it more then a few inches from my side. I can barely write. I can't put my hair in a ponytail. 

But I start PT next week. 

I know I can do this. I know that I will get there. One day at a time. One moment and milestone at a time. I'm thankful right now for a repaired shoulder and the chabce to make a comeback. 😊
