update from surgery

Image
 it's now been 26 days post-surgery.  My PT says that it is doing great for the time frame.  range of motion is at 90 degrees beforehand it may have been 40. Jesus has me in his hands and I will be healed in no time.  I have great help still at home I still have a hard time pushing shopping carts, this is normal.  I do not sack my groceries heavy so that I can manage getting them inside.   I had a couple of break throughs this week   1) I can now turn the shower faucet on/off.  2) I can squeeze the shampoo bottle.  3) I can actually wash my hair with both hands now.  If you have ever had any shoulder surgery, you willl understand that these three things are a BIG accomplishment.  the downfall of the reversal shoulder replacement is that I most likely will never be able to reach behind my back, I am ok with that if I have full function to the front. you can read about the surgery here it is very interesting  reverse shoulder this is the xray 13 days post-surgery dr said it was heali

  July 01, 2022  Surgery was successful! Praise the LORD.  Had a pancreatic episode due to opioids do to not eating enough.  In this case a very small cup of jello wasn't enough.   They then took me off food and water till the dr comes in the am.  I haven't had solid food since 530 wed.   Iam about in a raging fit and this fluid IV isn't cutting it.  I am very weak from no food and very dry mouthed.   Please pray this gets resolved quickly.  PT starts Wed July 6th.    Let this healing journey begin. They met me keep Joy (mama bear) with me right till they wheeled me to surgery they gave her bac k in recovery Thank you for prayers -=[
