But I've had to clean up after one, so my urge to pet them is minimal!
That's smart. :) I knew it was a silly impulse, but it just looked sooooo soft and sleek and strokalbe. I wonder if skunk fur really is as soft and warm as it appears.
Glad you're getting better though I know you wish it was faster. IME they tend to give you the worst case estimate for therapy. It could be six months, but it may be less depending on how fast you heal and how diligent you are with your exercises. A lot of folks don't take care of themselves as well as they should. Good luck!
Thanks! For my RSI I was in PT for a year and a half, so in that light six monhts doesn't seem that bad at all. Of course, since the previous injury was work-related I was able to do it on company time; for this I need to find my own time. I am... moderately diligent about exercises. Could be better, could be worse. I have an appointment tomorrow morning, so we'll see what they say!
So very glad you are not sentenced to more weeks of immobilization. Now you can put away your sign. With a light weight sling you can go around looking broodily romantic and claim you were injured during the War on ... (let me see, Drugs? Poverty? Terrorism?) Weather!
I hope the PT does not prove too onerous. Perhaps you can do twice the exercises for half the time! LOL
We've started to learn specific problems and treatments in school this quarter, and we started with the shoulder. (Convenient, eh?) The general guidelines (and this varies a lot, of course) are that you can return to most activity in 12 weeks and unrestrained activity in 20 weeks after a dislocation. We also learned that it is very important that the patient continue to exercise their shoulder muscles even after the 20 weeks to help prevent another dislocation.
I'd ask you all kinds of questions about your specific injury, but it'd probably bore everyone. But, if you ever want to talk about what I'm learning, just give me a call! I can tell you what my teachers say is the way to treat it. :)
I was hoping you would weigh in... :) Personally, I don't think we have to worry about boring people in the comments, so I'd say fire away, but of course if you'd rather not that's fine. Thanks for the phone offer! I may have more intelligent questions to ask after my first PT appointment tomorrow.

I don't think it works that way but perhaps I will suggest it, see what the therapist says. ;)
