Hi All, Well I am now 3+ weeks post rotator cuff surgery. (1
of 2 to be done) After an initial reaction to the anesthesia
and an overnight stay in the hospital things have been going
well. I go to physical therapy 3X a week. My ortho Doc said
I can continue working and October 7th I can go back full
time. But still no lifting and no reaching over my head. I
was in the studio 3 days after surgery doing some minor work
with no lifting involved. I find I can do most of the things
I did before, but at a slower pace. My ice pack is still my
best friend! :) So hopefully I will continue to heal
quickly. Thank you to everyone who sent me ideas on working
smarter not harder & all the get well wishes! All of your
suggestions have worked & I am happy to be still getting my
hands dirty on a daily basis. Regards- Kathy Chase-Jones
