good morning! 72 heading to 90 partly cloudy, 10% chance of rain - % will increase a each day with Tuesday having a 50% chance.
still typing with one hand as arm is still in protection mode in a padded sling.
the surgery spinal block is completely gone, no more numb thumb, woke up with pain at 3am took a pill, pain subsided slowly over the next hour, so I got up early. will have to take full dosage at night to get sleep. I'll try to take half dose during day time to see if it is tolerable. I sleep in our bed with my shoulder on a body pillow on my surgical side, seems to work ok. the body pillow keeps me from rolling on my side.
next PT is Monday, they work on Labor Day. She gave me homework to do three times a day,
I can take off the big bandage today and get the surgical site a little wet so showering will be easier.
recovery priority each day, calendar is cleared for PT which I have already scheduled for September, out-patient starting the 16th. no stitches or staples to be removed surgeon used dissolvable stitches inside and steri strips outside to close.
Enough of shoulder talk back to tractors and mowers and RV travels.
