Sort of Discouraging...

I've been going to therapy faithfully, and doing my exercises at home, but when they measured my range of motion on Wed., there was no improvement.

I can raise my arm about halfway up, and to go any further I have to push it up. I think my main therapist was sort of puzzled as to why I can't raise it any farther even when straining.

My shoulder is very tight, and it feels like something pushing down when I'm trying to push up.

Honestly, I can't say that it is any better than before my surgery, and I've been going to therapy since the 3rd week in July.
So please keep me in your prayers. At least I can sew, but sometimes even that is hard. I used to sew for hours and not stop. The "Ole Girl" ain't what she used to be! LOL
Hugs to all.

Doctor Visit 10/2

I had a doctor's appointment with Dr. Googe yesterday. He was pretty pleased with my progress. I told him about my shoulder feeling soooo stiff some days, and he said it was most likely scar tissue. They explained to me that scar tissue will stretch out during therapy, and then tighten back up again. They said it takes about 6 months for it to relax and fall into place. So that made me feel better.
I will go to therapy for 2 more months, and then back to him. They will start me on strengthening exercises too.
He was tickled that I could reach behind my back at all. That is the most painful part, but it gets better every day.
My friend from Kenner, Bettye, has been here all week. We have had a great visit, and shopped a whole lot. I'm ready to get back to my sewing.

Hugs to all.
