Rotator Cuff repair X 2 advice needed

[Wood2Sawdust]

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.
