Physio fever! I have been busy getting to physio appts this week. The work is been done to my neck and shoulder (left). There is still a great deal of swelling from behind my ear, down my neck and in my throat areas. I am working on recovering my neck mobility - side to side, up and down (up is tough) etc. We are also working on reestablishing my shoulder nerves. My great physiotherapist KD thinks I might have some minor rotator cuff issues. It could also be as a result of the swelling. I am atthis point working on extending my arm from my side straight out and up. Currently it moves about 30 degrees. Some ofthe muscles in my back are trying to do the work for muscles that are currently not working because the nerves have been slightly damaged.

What is kinda funny is - after I complete a session, I am pooped! I laugh at myself. I do get lots of homework with physio that I am working hard at. We are making progress - esp. in the neck mobility. I hope we can get the swelling to subside soon to make it a bit easier.

I am booked with physio to the end of November and suspect that it will take more than that to accomplish what we want to do. We'll make it happen!

I am still blown away by the responses you give me. A special aunt from Waterloo and a good friend/cousin from Crystal City reminded me today to keep this up so I will. I am getting to the offices every day - about 4-6 hours per day is max at this point. I try to get a snooze in where I can in the afternoons. My team mates have been incredible about this whole ordeal - thanks.

I am growing the grizzzly adams look - I'll try to post a pic again soon of how the healing is coming along. Have a great day!
