Recovery time

It is time to start the recovery walk. 


 

In my shoulder surgery yesterday, they fixed my ruptured biceps tendon but then they discovered that I'd also damaged my rotator cuff. So this is going to be a long recovery. It is really hard to live with your dominant hand in a sling and with orders that you may not use it in any way at all. 

 

I have to admit that I am discouraged to have to face such a very long recovery without being allowed to ride a bike or pick up my camera or countless other things. But I also know that I am lucky to have had surgery so rapidly after the injury and to be on the path of recovery.

Thanks so much for all of your good thoughts.

  3. Best to have all the repair happen in one surgery and one (long) recovery. May the dogs entertain you and not bounce on you (!) as you heal. Hang in there!

  4. Just to the physical therapy. I know you will and so many don't and they live with the results for the rest of their lives.

    Have a fabulous day. Big healing hug and scritches to the pups. ♥

  7. The recovery would not sit well with me either, but sometimes we have no choice. I had enough of recovery from stuff last year. It's hard when you are an active person.
