Well, it's been 3 weeks since my shoulder replacement surgery and today I saw my doc.
I told him I'm feeling very tired and with low energy. He thinks this is due to the fall I had beforehand, and then the surgery itself.
And of course, the remedy is time.
He said I can take off the sling now and then, which is both scary and a relief. He wants me to start using that arm a little...
I will continue with the home visits from PT which will also get more active instead of passive range of motion.
On the positive side, I can now shower and wash my hair! That will be so good....sponge baths just don't cut it all the time...
So here we are...
I really appreciate all the support you've all shown me.........
