Physical Therapy and Excersize

last set of x-rays taken at week 4

Moving along well in the recovery process, but need to slow down just a bit. Right now I am moving into week number six.  I have retired the sling, can move my arm in all directions cautiously and an able to do most 'average' things like the dishes and blow dry my hair - badly.

I started physical therapy in South Lake Tahoe and REALLY like it as it is a much younger crowd and geared toward 'athletes' like myself ! (hehe).... They have a state of the art facility and the therapist I have, is a guy who doesn't get his rocks off torturing people, like the guy in San Diego...(he was a little weird).

I still have some good days and some OK days in regard to discomfort but the good days out way the bad.
I am totally off all pain medications and am happy about that.

My new bike 'trainer' at home - beats an ugly lifecycle!

As far as weight lifting I am only suppose to lift up to 5 lbs with my 'bionic' side at this time, which is pretty limiting, but better than nothing. I bought a trainer (for my bike) and set it op on my deck to I can go on bike rides whenever I want. It is pretty cool and my a** will be in shape for a real ride whenever I am ready.

The weather in the mountains is very spring like . We had rain (and snow above 7,000 ft) and today is in the mid sixties...summer is coming slowly - but it is a good pace for me.
