L Arm, Fracture
2007-06-16 – 2007-10-13
Grade: 3
Stress fracture at shoulder.
2007-06-27 - surgery on arm / shoulder.
2007-07-03 - Had my first post-op visit with the Dr yesterday - things look good, they took out the staples.
I've got some simple exercises for the arm / shoulder for 5 weeks and then return. Other than the defined exercises, it's to be kept in the sling. Walking continues to be aok, so I'm going to see what I can do at that level to keep my general condition up.
2007-08-06 Mixed bag with the DR today. Arm is healing well and is on track, but he essentially held up a big stop sign... No weight, no new exercises, keep the sling (for protection). I can run (if I have to;-), but the sling is on. He suggests that if I get too aggressive running, I'll feel it and need to back off. (extra jostling may make the arm sore) He wants me to start raising my arm on its own weight instead of pulling it up with the other one. Return visit in mid-sept.
2007-09-10 Bones healed, time for PT!
2007-10-06 PT going well, and while still working on it, going to close out the injury
Be very careful bike riding - better watch out for Bike-O...-)
