Nothing new

I had an appointment with a physiotherapist earlier today. I didn't know what to expect. Which was a good thing: he basically didn't tell me anything new and it looks like I'm taking the shoulder immobilizer with me on my trip to San Francisco... Despite a serious injury I didn't take any sick leave, and I could tell by the look in his eyes he was none too happy about it. He pointed out the importance of NOT working through the pain - like I'm used to doing. He also told me to not over-exert my other shoulder in trying to compensate for the injured one. That's easier said than done, but I have been doing that ever since the shoulder incident.
He showed me some super easy excercises, and the next appointment is Friday next week. I'm glad he's amiable and easy on the eyes. Otherwise I would loathe the lenghty road of recovery even more.
