Hey,hey,hey. Here I sit, posting single handed. Thank goodness I got my left hand to type and misspell with. Had first session of therapy yesterdayFri) Had me lie on my back, take 3lb weight i right hand(surgery side). curl it up 30 times, turn hand over, palm up, curl it up 30 times. Then turn weight on end and strike in hammer, just hand, motion 30 times. Gave me some sort putty substance, squeeze/mold and raise and lower several times so elbow won't lock up. Then had me bring shoulder blades together 30 times. Gonna do this sittin up from now on. Then they had me put left hand on end of a table, lean over, swivle my hips to the left, with gravitatioal pull swiveling my right arm. Then back to the right. Then moved to sided of table and rock in bowlers motion movin arm forward . & backward. Oh, when i first laid down, therapist took right wrist and gently rotated that arm a good distance to get feel of beginning range of motion. PT sessions 3 times a week for 6 weeks. Exercises can also be done at home.
They asked me where I wanted to work toward and I told them like I was before and able to hanlde 50+ lbs to start with. Well those goals should take me into November, but should be out of work totally that long.
Ya'll have a great week week end. Think I'll flex my shoulder blades

This sounds just like a line dance I do called the "Dance Ranch Romp." I think you're doing a lot more with your body now than you've done in a while. Get well soon but don't have too much fun.
I think the typing was great too, with just a left hand. I, too am glad that the surgery and the beginning recovery have gone pretty good and hope that you'll be ready for the next family baseball game. Gene, you're invited to come to my house with Margaret next Monday. We'll make you feel welcome.
