Rotator Cuff Surgery


I'm going to Physical Therapy 3 times a week and doing some swimming to help it all heal and it seems to be getting better. I had frozen shoulder once and that was far worse, since PT didn't help it at all and it last over a year! So keep all your joints moving as much as you can while you are sitting there at your computer! Take time to stretch your arms over your head every 20 minutes or so. It's hard for us who sit at the computer day after day to do our work, or at a drawing table. Same thing. Stretch!

While I have been going through this, my husband has been tearing down the ceiling and walls of our living room. We are going to keep the beams exposed on the ceiling, and put wainscotting in between them. Here's a before image. I'll keep adding images as he goes along. He's already added 2 new windows and sanded the beams (not in this photo! Just wanted to share my sweeties talents!

Frozen shoulder? Can it happen to two at the same time? Does it hurt to reach out or up? I wonder because all of a sudden (when I was using the computer a LOT) last December I found I couldn't stretch far without severe pain and I still can't this many months later. I work at stretching them a bit each day and some days are better than others but... I am sure hoping it will just go away!

Surgery. That's scary. Hope it all feels better soon.
