Re: Happy Birthday

I came out of the hospital with it.  There was a little double strap on my
sling to keep it so I could just reach over and squeeze it.  After the
first month, I received several passive exercises to keep the joint loose
and begin building up range of motion...such as squeezing my shoulder
blades together for 2 sec holds ten times and bending over, letting my arm
hang down and do rotating circles in both directions.  When do you start PT?
