Happy New Year!

Santa did have a surprice for me at Christmas after all...
A fever of 102 degrees, with a troath that made everytime swallowing a major event! Just what was missing.... Got on Cephalexin and two days later things returned to normal. Tuesday made for my first post-op follow-up visit with Dr. Williams. He took my left shoulder through a passive full range of motion and was pleased with the stability the SC-Joint displayed. Cosmetically it doesn't look like a Hollywood finish, as long as it functions good I'll be more than happy! I am allowed to mount my bike on the trainer, as long as my left shoulder remains retracted, (only right hand on the handlebars). I'll start 2010 with my first ride! In the mean time I'll have to put some meat on my bones, as my weight has dropped to a meager 160 lbs!
For now it'll be another 2 weeks with the left arm in a sling, just to allow the allographs to make adhesions in order to create a good stability at the SC-Joint. It was interesting to learn that the accident caused the joint surface destroyed, the disc to float underneath the joint and the anterior joint capsule/ligaments gone. I am so grateful for a great surgery result, with hopefully an equal rehabilitation result! Happy New Year to all, with best wishes for a glorious 2010 ;)
