Saw Dr. Gelabert yesterday. He isn't happy with the speed of my recovery but not discouraged either. I still have a pretty good bruise from my IV so I clearly don't heal that quickly anyway... Will start PT as soon as workers' comp approves it, in the meantime I have some shoulder exercises to prevent frozen shoulder.

I'm still in a good amount of pain and very limited on daily activities. For example, driving is really rough so I try not to do much; even riding in the car is pretty painful. My impression is that I am having a harder time than most - but that is about how things go for me, especially health wise. Note my new allergy to dilaudid, there's always something Will update next week and will hopefully be MUCH better.
