I survived PT on Monday, well sort of. My therapist was awesome, and she showed me so many innovative ways to move my shoulder without involving my wrist! Also, she is doing more than just working on my shoulder....she is giving me things to do that will help my hand, for when the cast comes off! I went home full of enthusiasm, and I continued to work on the things she showed me, determined to reach the new goals that were set!
However, I guess I over did it....and I spent the rest of the day in a lot of pain. I called my Dr's office, and got the ok to start taking Meloxicam again. So it's better today but.....
I never seem to learn my lesson, and I worked on my arm all morning. I may be sorry by this afternoon but right now I'm thrilled because I have succeeded in touching my thumb to my ring finger and even brushed my little finger once or twice!!!
Also, this really hurts, but
I'm typing this with my right hand! That is a lot of results for just one session!
Tomorrow I get to go back and find out what new torture they have in store for me!
