Every Day is a Recovery Day

2-2-18 Day 10

6:45 AM – I continue to get decent sleep in the corner of the couch. I forgot to mention earlier that we don’t own a proper recliner, the kind my grandfather used to own, that I would use if we had one. If you get this surgery, and you have a recliner, I’d expect it to be your favorite sleeping spot for a few weeks.

For some reason I’ve got more soreness in the shoulder today than I’ve had waking up for the past few days. Slept differently? I don’t think so. Maybe over did it some yesterday? Haven’t been icing as much?

Did the couple of passive exercises Dr. Ziegler prescribed.

8:30 AM – First 1 hour chair session. Currently have the upper/outer limits of the range of motion set at 82d and 29d.

Things I expect to be able to get done today without my surgery recovery getting in the way of:

Writing – Still mostly left-handed but I can throw the right hand in for a few minutes at a time. Continue the consolidation of my digital photo library. Over the past few days I’ve probably got about 25% done but that is most of what I have available at home. I’ll need to head to the studio to load up more on a hard drive. Get Garrett new winter boots. For some reason his feet keep growing! Pick up iPhone X. Decluttering the house. Push things around at the studio to get the video recording area functional. Photograph items for eBay.

11:00 AM – 2nd Chair session with increase in range of motion to 86d/32d. Well on the way to the 140d/60d goal.

Picked up an iPhone X today. Pretty impressive! I’ll have more to report on it as I get more use out of it. Here is a photo in portrait mode.

I made it to the shop for a bit today. Not a lot of work getting done but I am getting some projects prioritized.

Garrett headed off to Winter Camp with the Scouts tonight so Wendy and I have the house to ourselves for the first time in I don’t know how long. She’s not feeling well in the tummy and Ive got this surgery recovery going on. So we’ve got that going!
