Oof, only at about the halfway point through the 6mo rehab after shoulder surgery. PTs are very happy with my progress, but it's such a grind to push through an hour of this twice a day. Every day. No exceptions.

The repair has healed at this point but the exercises to regain the range of motion HURT.

So sad but these 5lb dumbbells are absolutely kicking my ass. 😢




Some days the effort just saps my resilience / willpower / energy. Need to cook a meal? Nah, mebbe not. Laundry? Pfft. Any annoying parts of my TO-DO list just ain't gonna get done.

I'm prioritizing the recovery. Can't skimp there. Just surprised how little there is left over some days.

Successful shoulder surgery yesterday!



Surgeon wasn't sure what he'd find. Thankfully there was more repairing to do than he had expected. I didn't want to wake up and have him say, "eh, didn't see much, not sure how much it'll help."

So, cool, got a bunch fixed.



Means the recovery will be longer. 6wks in the sling. No driving (👀). 6mo rehab. But it'll be worth it if I can hang from a bar again, tumble again, umm... wash my back again...

And so far no terrible pain, but the nerve block is still wearing off so the pain is steadily increasing.

Probably going to avoid writing any new SeedSigner (nprofile…acnq) PRs until I'm off the narcotics!

Can't say that nprofile1qqstwd7k7hyv5nf94v9zchtcwe6gyak529j0ah7tgjueudwrryj2d6ck96nw5 (nprofile…6nw5) is being extra caring, but she's always a good snuggler so we're getting in good pass-out-from-morphine nap time.
