Post Operation

Well I finally had the operation last Friday (2nd
December) and guess am on the Road to recovery.
Was in hospital for 5 days and the operation
seems to have been a success. I still have a lot
of pain from both the wound and shoulder and arm
but it's much less than before. If on a scale of
1 to 10 my original pain was 10, my current pain
is around 6. The wound is about 3.5 inches long
on the top of my right shoulder. Here's a
picture:
I still can't use my right arm/hand and although I have some exercises to do every couple of hours, given by the Physiotherapist, I have to keep the shoulder strapped up until I have the staples removed and the hospital starts me on physiotherapy. The strap is also a must so that the tendons and nerve can heal before they get used again. The Staples are being removed 16th December and my first physiotherapy assessment is 20th December.
