Best I've felt in a week! First follow-up with...
WORTH IT$6,000
Best I've felt in a week! First follow-up with orthopedic surgeon today & my first time out of the house in a week. Sutures in shoulder were clipped & will dissolve; steri-strips applied. Dr. pleased with progress & range of motion so far. YEA!!!!! Start real physical therapy tomorrow-orders are for 12 weeks, but we'll just see if we can't accelerate that schedule! I don't have to wear that awful immobilizer sling at home unless I am sleeping, which is bad enough, by the way. If you think drains are annoying, picture having a 5 pound sack of flour strapped to the inside of your lower arm, which is bent at a 90° angle. The whole business is strapped over your opposite shoulder as well as around your waist & your mostly numb or tingling fingers/thumb are confined in this cloth cylinder 24/7! Now try to sleep with this get-up on. Yep, this is Granny whining. I haven't felt this claustrophobic since those hot flashes that make you want to throw off the covers & rip off all your clothes.(Some of you will get this; the rest of you will!) The best news is that I can water walk in pool tomorrow if I keep incision dry. Next week-water aerobics with caution! I'm getting to be a happy camper. Sorry to pester my tt buddies with my shoulder replacement journey, but, alas, no forum on topic!(swyping is much easier with my un-immobilized right hand.)

Wondered how you were, hope everything is going as it should.
You are looking wonderful, how is the food and exercise going, its so motivating to have that head start .
I went swimming first time on Saturday and showed off the new tummy, had to cover the scar,s at the end as it comes out of the swimmer,s but other than that I felt that it was hidden well.
Just started back weight training at the gym today, I have been working with my clients for 2 weeks, but didn't want to do my own weights until the 6 weeks were up.
Have been walking and stationary bike riding though.
anyway, love to hear how your scar is, and what you are feeling, you are the month ahead of me and are my inspiration.
Good to hear from you:) Merry Christmas ladies.
Hope your feeling much better, and are able to enjoy the holiday season as it should .Cheers
No worries you will be back swimming before you know it. I sure wish we had warm and sunny weather. We are at a wopping 18 degrees this morning with snow on the ground. Beautiful for Christmas but that is about it:)
