Post-surgical update
Nov. 18th, 2009 04:29 pmThis afternoon I had my one week surgery follow-up visit. Wow. I understand better why healing takes so long - they removed the bursa entirely. So there is no nice cushion between bones at the moment. Plus, of course, they shaved the bone spur off the top of my shoulderblade and took off the end of my clavicle. They are happy with my progress and I start physical therapy tomorrow.
I got a new sling, I really think the thing they gave me after surgery was a pediatric sling. The new one fits, is comfortable and actually restful to have my arm in. I won't do it much because I need to be moving my arm so as not to have adhesions form. But it will be good to wear on my trip to remind myself not to lift heavy luggage with it.
