Had my first physical therapy session today and came away knowing that my shoulder is not completely wrecked!
True, I don’t yet know the results of the MRI, but I now have a “stoplights” understanding of what it means to work (and breathe) through discomfort (a yellow light) versus stopping when I encounter acute or severe pain (red light).
I also discovered that there’s still quite a bit of strength there; I simply have to relearn how to trust it and build on it.
Yay!
