Quick post to track and reflect my journey with an injury that appears may have a significant impact on my world of "play".
Was in a bit of a europhoric mood last night as symptoms were quickly controlled after a visit to an Athletic Therapist yesterday. I can't stress enough, the importance of early intervention..Slept Alll night without pain and no real discomfort, other than the feeling of clunking or a "hanging" sensation, specifically at the AC joint/anterior shoulder. Tape and soft tissue treatment was just what was needed.
Showered without sling....confirming that yeah......need to keep wearing the sling and let time, hopefully not surgery, tighten this joint up..to be determined in less than a week now. Feeling good enought that bypassing meds is current plan and so far successful....we'll see ;)
Back in work mode...making necessary arrangements for consult appointments with team members and self directed research..all is moving forward. So, it's time to begin new Goal Setting...
1. Behave and wear sling 24 hrs/day, occasionally removing for wrist, elbow active range of motion and supported active shoulder external and internal range of motion...good to see the anterior delt firing this a.m.
2. meet with Athletic Therapist Rhea, tomorrow and monday for some therapist assisted range of motion, soft tissue and taping...in a word...ESSENTIAL..
3. Consult with Dr. Yach re opinion from ortho state of mind
4.....really all I can set right now pending ortho consult...keeping fingers crossed
Now to absorb my overactive brain with work
