Ten days into the shoulder recovery

The stitches are out. Judy has been released from the sling. She can use her arm as long as she keeps it low. She isn’t supposed to lift anything heavier than a cup of coffee, but the doctor said doing dishes would be great therapy. That’s what I heard him say anyway.

She got to lie down last night. She didn’t have to sleep sitting up in a chair.

She took a three-mile walk on the beach today.

We thought there would be a lot of stitches under the surgical tape over the incision. It turns out it was just one really long one. Two regular stitches and one really long one. Three stitches. Judy thinks there are a bunch of sub-surface stitches that were all tied up to that one long external one. She might be right, but I still think she owes me.
