I just got back from PT. ARGH

[KitchenWitch]

I feel like my arm is going to fall off.

1. :^( How about a heat compress??

[KitchenWitch]

2. I have it on ice right now

Took my naprosyn. Taking it easy for the rest of the day.

3. Right, no reaching overhead or opening jars of pickles. Or peanut butter.

[KitchenWitch]

4. Exactly

And NO VACUUMING. (my floors are atrocious right now - husband will be doing them this weekend).

5. That anywhere near Pt. Mugu?

:shrug:

[KitchenWitch]

6. Nope!

But my physical therapy is "killing" me. I am seeing increased range of motion in my shoulder, but damn, it hurts and it is hard work.

Of course, I really screwed up my entire rotator cuff and biceps tendon when I was climbing the ladder and watering the roof and eaves. I really should have gone in a lot sooner.

7. I feel ya

Well... not literally. :)



I messed up the bursa in my right shoulder painting ceilings some 15 years ago, then aggravated it with years of long hours at a computer with a mouse that was too high. x(

[KitchenWitch]

8. Rehabbing this shoulder has been worse than the rehab from my hip replacement

9. That's the irony of PT

In order for you to get "better" you have to go to periodic bouts of torture...x(

[KitchenWitch]

11. I know.

[Greyskye]

10. PT's = Physical Terrorist's

I swear the guy who used to work on my knee could easily get a job at some Black Op site. :scared:

[KitchenWitch]

12. I think mine used to work at Gitmo!

:yoiks:

[littlebit]

13. I had to do pt

for almost 5 years. By the end of it I was calling that evil little man Hitler.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. My dear KitchenWitch...

I know it hurts, sweetie...

I'm sorry...

You will get better!

~~~Good vibes~~~

:hug:

:loveya:

[KitchenWitch]

15. It was particularly stiff today.

Not sure why.

x(

I will take all the vibes I can get. I just want to be able to clean my house (it is an absolute wreck around here right now.)

16. Rehab can be so hard to get through...

But it's worth it. Hang in there, KitchenWitch!
