This is a cream my physical therapist gave me to rub on my scar.
Ringelblumen are Marigolds.
This cream is supposed keep the skin around my scar from drying out or something like that.
Tricia also claims that this cream makes me smell like her grandma.
I think I’ll take that as a compliment.
So here’s week 3. I am now seeing a physical therapist once a week, so having some consistent care and advice is very helpful. Please continue to pray that my recovery process goes smoothly and quickly.
For comparison, Week 2 followed by Week 1:
So here’s my Week 2 picture. I must admit I haven’t been stretching as much as I should since school started, so I’m not sure how much progress I’ve made since last week. Assuming, of course, that I’ve made any progress at all. You be the judge:
I was able to make an appointment to see a physical therapist on Tuesday this week, so please pray that things go well with that and I can start to get more motion back sooner than later.
So I realize I’ve been bad about updating you about my shoulder surgery and recovery. And what better way to document my progress than the YMCA (hat tip WG). I know the C is backwards, but the right way doesn’t really demonstrate my lack of mobility.
Long story short:
I was diagnosed with a frozen shoulder which essentially means an estimated recovery time of 3 months easily doubled. Ugh.
In any case please pray that I will be motivated to do my stretches and that my doctor will be able to hook me up with a good physical therapist.
Stay tuned for weekly updates.
