Graduation Day
Today was my last physical therapy appointment from the April 25th, 2013 reverse shoulder replacement. I officially received my degree to “go forth and enjoy life.” It was by no means two months of appointments. The first six weeks the arm and shoulder were held in place within a sling. Since that time I have seen Mike T. at the hospital’s physical therapy unit just once a week. Michael Tonsanger holds a doctorate in physical therapy. I have been in excellent hands. Today’s appointment took place in the gym of the hospital’s physical therapy unit. I was put through the drills of arm and shoulder strength and I can assure you that Mike had plenty of resistance on the bands that I used for pulling, punching and lifting. The entire while I was going through the drills Mike was hands on as he was checking to see how the muscles were firing. It has been a great surgical success and I love the ability for mobility without the pain of the severed rotor cuff. Great days ahead.
