I've had 4 surgeries on my right shoulder. The last one was the killer as far as rehab. The Doc told me that sooner or later I would pop my biceps tendon, but as I am not a $10,000,000 pitcher or QB they would let it go. Well, it happened when I was throwing a snowball a few years ago...........tore the biceps tendon off just like the Doc predicted, BUT, at the same time, tore the Triceps tendon off. Surgery.......immediately.
The worst exercise I had to endure in rehab was the "eensey weensey spider creepy crawly stretch. Start with the hand on the wall at chest height and work your fingers up the wall as far as you can reach. Pure misery for about two weeks.
Best wishes Julie and Dan. May everything turn out okay for you and your family.
Anyone for a Weenie Roast?
