Shoulder Update
Surgery was December 17th. I never thought i'd be able to use my arm again, much less throw. Who knew the doctor was right and it would take about 8 months to recover. Sunday, Christian and I were outside waiting for a guy to bring the Eos back after a test drive. I've been wanting to throw for a few weeks so we grabbed a tennis ball and went after it. It wasn't a far distance or a fast, strong throw, but it was a throw! We were about 20 feet apart and it felt pretty good. Of course I wanted to see what throwing at 100% would feel like, but after waiting since December I didn't want to risk injury. It's a step in the right direction. I was pretty excited. Next step is putting on our gloves and maybe using a baseball, since it's smaller. It seems that would put less strain on the shoulder. Although, in therapy, I was using a weighted ball. We'll see. With all of this baby nonsense (not really nonsense) I have put the shoulder thing on the back burner. Plus, it doesn't hurt every single day anymore during daily tasks so it's not often that I think about it.
