Day 107 Post-Surgery
Today was my latest appointment with the doctor. Two X-Ray’s and an exam, and I’m in perfectly good shape! Apparently the soreness and stiffness is still to be expected. The collarbone is still in the place it is supposed to be, and he was pleased with that.
I’m cleared for lifting weights, so I’ll try to phase that back in a bit. I still have my chinup bar hanging from a doorframe, which I had stopped when I was getting a little bit sore. I’ll phase some pushups back in as well. I might go back to Physical Therapy once or twice more, but I think at this point I don’t really think that it will be helpful enough that I’ll continue to devote time to going there.
I’m still not allowed to get back into grappling, nor do I wish to stress it in that sort of way. I’m going to have to be comfortable rolling over that shoulder in order to start grappling back up again. And I’m still kind of babying it when I fall in Hapkido.
Here’s hoping it continues to improve.
Glad to hear that the prognosis is good! I would think that as time passes, the calisthenics and weight training would be the best physical therapy to strengthen and stabilize the shoulder and surrounding area anyway.
