update from surgery

 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 healing fine and looked great.   the dark place is not my lungs it is the bruising still from surgery 

I hope each of you are staying cool and safe as it has really been a scorcher all around the world where it is summer.
