On Monday, October 24, I had to have shoulder surgery. Now I gotta tell you I was sort of looking forward to getting this done and over with. Now--not so much. I have had other surgeries, but this one is kicking my butt. Ok so the pain isn't really the problem, the fact that I am right handed and it is my right shoulder--that is the problem. UGH.
I have never felt so useless in all my life. I am out of balance--my arm is in a sling. I don't feel safe walking outside without someone with me, so I am stuck in the house. Luckily my mom has taken me grocery shopping and out to see my grandmother, but other than that, I've pretty much been housebound.
I have been doing the exercises they told me to do, but I can only cause myself so much pain. :( I was getting worried---the pictures show the dude with his arm above his head, I am lucky to get it at at 45 degree angle! My dad has had the same surgery so I told him that I don't feel like I am making that much progress on my stretches they gave me--My dad just smiled and said--no worries they'll push you during physical therapy and get you where you need to be.
I am so not looking forward to physical therapy!
Miss going to the gym with Brandy. We were just getting into Zumba! I am very anxious to get back to it, but know it will take some time.
I guess this is God's way of teaching me patience. So I guess I will just try to enjoy my time at home, work on my balance, and heal.
