Update on the shoulder. I went to the Doctor today. She felt my arm is a bit too stiff and should be further along. But I can leave the sling off now. Although, I'll prob still wear it at night. I tend to toss and turn all night and that might still cause problems. But leaving the sling off during the day should start loosing it up. Also She extended my med leave untill Dec 1st. I'll see her again in 3 wks and if she feels I can return to work sooner she can always give me a note saying so. I'm Also not to lift anything heavier than a soda can.

I'm so ready to go back to work. Medical leave only pays 66% of my regular wages. Things are really tight right now.

Hang in there. Shouldn't be long now. Thanks for the update.

I broke a rib years ago and that was about my lifting restriction as well so I know how much fun that is. Hang in there and listen to the docs so you'll get all healed up!

I understand your frustration, really, I'm still recovering from my fall April 15th. Hang in there and work hard with the physical therapy. One day this will be a distant memory for both of us. Hope you are able to return to work soon.
