Call Me Lefty, One Month

Okee dokee, one month ago yesterday I had my surgery. Today, my doc said I need to be in my sling 4 more weeks. I have to wear the sling because it has a belt that wraps around my waist and keeps me from flapping my arm like a wing. I didn't do that much before surgery, but you never know, I may get the sudden urge to try to fly. The bolster is supposed to make it more comfortable, go figure. But hooray, I start PT next week! I can also knit & cook. Next appt.:  June 16.

Still can't run or jog. The shoulder movement from doing either of those things is too hard on the shoulder. But I've been walking, walking, walking to get ready for the Bolder Boulder. Looks like I'll need the full 90 mins. to finish the race. Walked 6.7 mis. on Monday, took 2 stinking hours! Yikes! Well, at least I'm not on crutches.
