I am officially putting the One Armed Sabbatical into retirement. Today I had my last follow up with the surgeon. He is really pleased with my progress and said I'm a bit ahead of the usual recovery curve. Range of motion is really good and strength is coming back nicely. He said to expect a few more weeks of some minor soreness in the shoulder joint, and about another six months before things are pretty much "normal" or better.
I thanked him and let him know that I am very pleased with the services provided and how things turned out. It's great to be pain free in that shoulder and be able to do normal things again.
We considered putting the sling on the Christmas tree or mantel in place of a stocking, but I decided that I don't want to be reminded of having to wear that for six weeks in summer's heat. Best to move on to bigger and better things.
So, this is the last entry in this blog. Thanks for following along.
