checkup today, 13 days in. Dr. said  I'm doing good. walking a mile once or twice a day.  No pain other than when stretching. The hardest part is trying not to use that arm. PT will start at 4 weeks in.  OK to drive my pickup and lawn tractor.  I just hope the second one goes this good July 7

         i was hoping to keep a running report for others to know what to expect, but I think I am a bad example. 4 weeks after surgery today and my first physical therapy--I was told my range of motion was "amazing" and I am way ahead of where I should be and with so little pain very lucky--not the norm. they still won't start active therapy for 2 weeks. Still scheduled for the other shoulder surgery on July 7.  I can only hope that one goes as well. The hardest part is not using it even with the sling.   I have been driving my pickup and lawn tractor--I put suicide knobs on both of them.  i would like to drive my orchard size tractor with 3 point mower-- it is actually less bumpy with longer wheel base and power steering--but my wife has a problem with that.  My right shoulder is definitely feeling it a little more though, especially driving. My pickup is the only automatic I have--I'm looking for a subaru outback auto now.

I was just thinking about you today, and I'm really glad to hear that everything is progressing superbly! It sounds like you're doing fantastic, you've got a good plan and all the best.

six weeks in -- Left repaired arm only wearing sling when sleeping or outside to prevent me from doing too much. Started real exercises today at PT  Now I have pain while doing stretches and exercises, but not too bad and not bad after. Did notice my hand and wrist have more pain from carpal tunnel and arthritis from not moving it as much the last six weeks. Right arm definitely worse from overuse--hope it lasts till July 7 surgery.   physical therapist says doing good and I should be able to use first arm lightly by then. Probably no hunting this year, happy with it all so far. thinking about sleeping in a bed soon with sling on
