Surgery is tomorrow

WONDERFUL, the Doctor said that I am one in many that will not need physical therapy. Have no problems with movement, JUST DON"T BUMP THE ELBOW.

Thanks for thinking of me.

So is it a good thing or a bad thing that you don't need PT? Does that mean you're healing properly on your own?

How are you feeling today?

It is a miracle, a good thing. Most people lose the mobility in their arm,wrist and hand. Mine is as strong as before the surgery. But it could be bad if I don't remember not to lift anything heavier than a coffee cup for another month. NO PAIN, they just can't believe it.

That is wonderful Donna! I'm so glad you are recovering so well! I hope the next month goes really quickly for you so you can get back to doing all the things you want to do.

Donna I am glad you are doing better. It is so hard to not be able to do the things you should. My surgery was in April and I still can't do a lot of things. I get tired really easily and still have some pain when I try to do things. I got really frustrated today when it hurt too much for me to get the tree down.

We just need to remember as long as we feel better those things shouldn't matter but it is still hard.

I am so sorry you are still having such a hard time. What were you doing trying to get a tree down?????
I laid on my left side for a bit this morning, first time since my surgery.
Take care.
