The doctor today said I can lose the sling. He is very pleased with my “excellent” progress, but warned me to not get cocky and try to do too much. Another 6 weeks of slow strengthening, and then I can start to ramp it up once the repair is strong enough.
But I can:
– Run
– Ride a bike
– Sleep on that side
– Dribble a basketball (but not shoot)
After 6 weeks, it is a start of a return to normalcy.
Yay!!

Bet it feels good to be unslung.

Apollo will be happy that you can ride a bike and take him for runs.

Richard — that would have been a better title for this post : “Unslung” or maybe “Unslung Hero”.
Mom, I was going to take him this morning, but Gisele wanted to go for a walk so we walked him instead. Maybe tomorrow!
