Re: Surgery
Still a lot of pain with movement, and the main bandage they used left blisters at the edges of the pattern and took some skin when we removed it. That wasn't fun. Triple antibiotic is your friend.
Range of motion work isn't fun...
... But it's necessary.
I have already started. May be six or eight weeks before I can be mobile in the chair again. Folks forget the shoulder has to take the strain of braking on downhills, pushing on inclines, and emergency stops.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

Re: Surgery
Follow up with the surgeon on the 29th. Start PT on the 30th. Due to the long drive each way to the VA they have again scheduled it in the next county over. At my request, they set it with the same therapist who did all the work with me after the fall that shattered my femur. She did a great job.

Sending positive thoughts. Do well in therapy, I know how much fun that is but every session is progress.

Gotta do my best, work to do in the woodshop, and ammo calling my name.
