More of the same
Life is pretty much more of the same.
I have to say though that when the Phsyio measured my arm movement it had increased heaps! In some cases it almost equaled my left arm. Buffaloes comments helped too.
He gave me some new exercises to do which, although I try, I simply can't do as he would like. I think we may have reached the limits of what my shoulder will do while the ligament is torn. I'll have to tell him when I see him this week.
I also wonder if I can swim any more. I should still be able to float I think, but with swimming I always relied upon my arms rather than my legs. Maybe I will need to use my legs more now. I have asked Sandy and Nina to take me to a pool so I can test myself soon.
I will also need to test my kayak. I used to be able to climb in when it was overturned in the sea. I couldn't do surf though. I think this summer will be spent with me in the bay, trying to overturn and climb into my kayak. If I try enough, I will hopefully be able to do it again one day... I love rowing. If all else fails, I need to wear a life jacket and learn to float well I guess *shrug*
I saw a guy yesterday that I haven't seen for months and he commented about the way I look like myself now. It was lovely to hear.
I think I'll have a cup of tea now, it is so cold today.

You HAVE NOT reached the limits. You are at a plateau that requires harder work and dedication to reach the next mountain. You're doing well! Don't allow doubt to set in. (And learn to use your legs while swimming anyway, silly woman.)
