10 weeks post-op: milestones!

Today is exactly 10 weeks after my surgery. While I'm still in pain often and in PT weekly, there are definitely a couple of milestones in my recovery. Today, I was able to take off my sweater while standing straight up and lifting it over my head with my arms. For the past 10 weeks, I had to bend forward at the waist until i was making a 90-degree angle with my body, and then use my left arm to pull the sweater (shirt, tank top, whatever) up my back towards my head and pull it off that way. Okay, so I didn't explain it that way, but just realize that it was a big milestone I've been trying to get to all week.

Tomorrow is another one (hopefully) -- my first yoga class post-surgery. Probably won't be doing any sun salutations anytime soon, but it'll be nice to get back into the groove of things. I miss yoga!
