Getting to PT was a major pain without driving. Bus was late, etc. Stressful.
I couldn't wait to see Bob my PT to get questions answered and hopefully get the ok on some more movement in my arm. Good news, my mobility is "gold" and where it should be at the point, so not a whole lot of work for him to do right now. Not so great news, still keep shoulder mobility limited for a few more weeks. Still in the sling for 4 weeks with some sling time afterwards to continue limitation and for reminders to others and myself.

Exercises 3-4x day - lying down. rib cage stretch along, assisted shoulder flexion movement to about 75-80 degrees.
Ice 3-4x day (this i hadn't been doing)
Did receive a helpful handout giving me an idea of progression of PT. Basically strengthening doesn't come for several more weeks. Reduced work schedule for 6-7 weeks post-op so need to get note from doctor about this.
No lifting (coffee okay, but extremely light weight in hand) no putting casseroles in the oven!
