It’s kind of wild to sit back and realize how far this shoulder has come since my injury on December 7th and surgery on January 23rd. Now here I am — about 22 weeks post injury and 15 weeks post surgery — slowly easing into a new normal again.
The difference between now and those first few weeks after surgery is honestly incredible. I’ve regained a pretty decent range of motion, and thankfully the pain is mostly gone now. There are still moments where my shoulder reminds me healing is still happening, but overall I can finally feel real progress.
Now comes the part where I need to stay consistent and make more time for PT so I can keep rebuilding strength and mobility instead of slowing down just because I’m feeling better. Recovery is definitely still a work in progress.
Honestly, this season of year is my favorite. I LOVE being outside — tending to gardens, cutting grass, working in the yard, soaking up the sunshine, and just staying busy outdoors. It’s making me want to push myself even harder in this healing journey so I can fully get back to doing the things that bring me the most joy.
Little by little, I’m getting there. And after where I started back in December, I’m really grateful for how far I’ve already come. 🤍
