I had my 6 week checkup with my surgeon on Thursday. Going in, I was really excited to show all my progress to her. My excitement slowly fizzled as she told me my therapist had been going easy on me. She had me lay down and took my arm and forced it up and held it there. I was in so much pain I couldn't breathe. She did tell me that she was happy with my progress but that now it was time to get forceful so I could get as much motion back as possible. Kinda put me in a bad mood after that. As usual, I'm up for the challenge. I wish she had started out with some praise and encouragement but oh well. One thing I'm excited about is that I can wear a bra again! (TMI!) I haven't been able to wear one because it really bothered my scar. I think it's (scar) finally been desensitized and I can tolerate a bra again! It's the small things that make me happy. I'm also starting to drive again. I took my nieces to Target last weekend. It went well so I'm going to get my car from my house and bring it over to Mom's house. I'll be able to take myself to therapy and wherever else I feel like. I'm very close to going back to work. I think within the next 2 weeks I should be good to go. I'm so looking forward to it! Miss my co-workers and having something to do! The one thing I don't miss is getting up at 4am. :(
