My first week in therapy after I got out of my sling was soooo hard. I hurt so bad, and I even cancelled one day so I could let my arm relax and catch up.
I think they just pushed me a little too hard after only having passive exercises for 6 weeks. I keep up with my home routine, and I am able to use my arm a lot more, but I still have a long way to go. Therapy last week was a lot better. None of it is easy, but it has to be done.
I go back to Dr. Googe on Oct. 2. My shoulder still hurts a lot at times, and gets very stiff. I sometimes wonder if it will ever feel like my other one.
I am sewing when I feel like it, and that really helps me a lot.
Thanks to those of you who still check on me.

I'm sure there are lots of us who check in on you but don't always leave a comment. We should.
I'm very happy for you that you are finally out of the sling & showing progress! Baby steps & just a wee bit more each day will get you there.
Sewing hasGOT to be the best therapy!
Oh Shirley, I am continuing to pray for you. Be careful but keep going. Ahnalin has her next surgery on October 5, so a few days after you see your doc. She will start her physical therapy right after that.
But I agree with Rett. Sewing IS the best therapy.
