Granny's gone and done it again

I'm kinda wiped out myself tonight. PT this morning. New exercises to build up atrophied muscles in right leg. It's like taking up weight lifting. Oh heck yeah, I can do 20 or 30 of those, no problem! See? Then after he leaves, your body goes, Seriously? What were you thinking? Now guess what, we are not moving again for 24 hours. Your eyelids suddenly weigh 25 lbs. Each!

So. Good night, all! Sleep tight!
Sounds like me at PT this morning. 9:30 AM, appointment with the surgeon at 11. Only half awake at best. Therapist was trying to get my arm to duplicate a pretzel...at least it felt that way. First time in weeks I yelp and OW!! at him. Took twice before he got the message and backed off.

Did get good news at the surgeons. I can drive again! After almost 3 months of being grounded. YAY! Also got my lift limit increased. 20 pounds above the waist but no overhead lifting yet and 50 pounds below waist level...okay, not sure how to manage that one but hey, I'll take what I can get.

I start weight lifting for strengthening on Thursday and they promised me that I'd get more privilege's in 3 weeks.

At least I'm going to try to use the weed eater and lawn mower this week. DH can't understand how anyone can love mowing grass but I do and have missed it this summer.

Now if my shoulder would stop being so sore from the PT I think things would be back to normal...or what passes for normal.
