(not necessarily in that order)
Yep, our first full day at home completely wiped me out.
I was slow this morning but got it together to drive to a physical therapy appointment in the afternoon. A friend went with me so we could catch up with each other on the way, as well as visit over coffee afterwards.
Then Ramesha and I watched a few short shows and now I literally can’t keep my eyes open. And it’s only just past 9:00pm!
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!
