Operation plus 10 weeks

Seven weeks out of the immobilising sling, I've been working hard on getting my range of movement back. I've got between 80-95% movement across the board, the hard part is now trying to get the last few painful degrees back.

Range of Movement progress

My 10 Week consultation with the Consultant this week went well. He was very impressed with my recovery to date. He suggested another appointment in 6 weeks’ time in the view of hopefully signing me off, letting me get back on White Water! That would be a 4 month recovery period from my operation, returning just in time for the Sickline. However I have come to accept that for my first outing it’s probably not a good idea to be racing down grade 4 water!
So for the next few weeks I’ll be hitting the gym, increasing the weights and trying to build the muscles back to pre-dislocation standard. Also trying to make the most of the end of summer and get out in the boat on the flat as much as possible.
