Where does the time go...
Mar. 16th, 2006 03:20 pmWhoa. I just realized it's been weeks since I last updated... I hate it when I neglect to update like that, because there were often interesting things to talk about on a day to day basis, but bringing those same subjects up three weeks later? Yeah, not so much.
I guess the biggest thing I have to talk about is that my shoulder is making marked improvement... the last few days I've felt almost normal (other than not being able to lift anything over, say, a pound and having to be a little bit careful about sudden movement). There've been a lot of ups and downs, and it seems to still be following the same old pattern of rising pain levels preceding huge leaps in improvement. So I'll spend a day popping ibuprofen, Tylenol PM and (once) Vicodin, followed by a few days of massively increased mobility and massively decreased pain levels.
This week my PT started me in on some exercises that are a whole lot more about strength and endurance rather than the (mostly) range of motion stuff I've been doing up until now. However, there's nothing like getting exhausted pulling on a very thin piece of rubber tubing to make you feel really wimpy.
And ( somewhat girly TMI under the cut, though it's pretty darned mild and not really too embarrasing. )
