Making progress

Well, I got the go ahead to start back to work full time, starting next week. I told the doctor I was getting used to just working 4 hours per day for the past 4 weeks and he said he'd be happy to let me continue working part time for awhile and was willing to keep me on disability. Was very tempting, but told him my co workers have picked up my slack long enough and I would feel very guilty not working full time. Six weeks ago, I couldn't even lift my arm but a few inches and the doctor told me I had to raise it above my head in order to go back to work full time. At that time I thought I was going to have to find a fake arm to bring to the doctor's office and hold up. But lo and behold the exercises have paid off and I am able to raise my arm up over my head (is painful, but I can do it). I start working on the shoulder muscles with 2 pound weights twice a week now. I see the doctor in 3 months and by then I should have full range of motion and be able to pick up my grandchildren. (and hook my bra up in the back) Just in time for Kim's new arrival! And I should be strong enough to pick Emerson up, too! 3 cheers for me! I also told the doctor that I would much rather have a Csection than shoulder surgery again!
