The physical therapy is taking effect. I went back to work 3 weeks post-op and right into PT 3 times a week. And I did everything right, I guess. Just about done with PT and almost ok with arm. This last weekend I started a painting project. I am right handed and the surgery was on my left shoulder. I had to use both arms to prep the painting area and push furniture out of the way, and felt only the usual over-50-years-old soreness. (Oh, make that a total body ache!)
