I was expecting Judy to be about 50% better from her shoulder surgery by now, given that she only has one functioning arm, but she’s more like 90% better. She’s independent again, doing everything she normally does. Except drive. Or put on or take off her sling. Or scratch an itch on the biceps of her good arm.
As far as the pain part goes, that has subsided. It hardly hurts at all. Except when it does. And there’s Advil for that.
She can take her sling off as much as she wants now; but still for passive motion only. Two weeks from now, she will start with the physical therapist and the therapist will extend her range of motion while she tries not to twitch. She’s still a couple months away from doing any active motion.
