Shoulder Progress

Progress with the shoulder is slow and steady, and I am very impatient and want to be able to move forward.  I started physical therapy.  The bright side is when you get to keep having people tell you shoulder surgery is one of the most difficult surgeries to recover from.  Thanks for the update.  Truth is, I don't think that it's been too bad so far. Inconvenient, yes, but painful, I don't think that it's been any more than what I was expecting.  As he stretched my arm, it felt so great!  Then he told me I had a great poker face because I didn't show whether or not he was hurting me when he stretched my arm out.  Yea, pretty much any direction other than up and down does not feel good.  The best news, however, was on Friday I started sleeping without the sling.  It feels so good to not have the strap around my neck and around my waist.  Still sleeping on the back, but once I am asleep I really don't move so it's not too much of a deal.  I do still have to wear the sling, basically whenever I leave my house and I can't do much lifting.  That's not real conducive to living alone, but it is what it is.  The physical therapist informed me I will be off restrictions after next week - not sure if that's just where he is concerned or if that's all over.  I should be able to stop wearing the sling Friday.  Then, I will really have to watch myself on pushing it because I can easily see myself overdoing it and pushing too fast.
