Yeah, Shuperman, that's about right. That's how I was supposed to be treating my arm. Sadly with an (almost) ex that thought I should've been babysitting, doing dishes and clening house the day after my surgery, I didn't get nearly that far before I was lifting AJ (a dangerous task to attempt one-handed.

I'd be very careful. B/c of my almost ex's attitude, I'm in need of rotator cuff repair #3 as soon as worker's comp finishes draging their feet. Definitely be working that passive rom, though.

I'm getting surgery on my left shoulder next Wednesday for rotator cuff impingement. Is this the kind of down time I'm looking at too?

I was so hoping to try to find a part-time job as I've been feeling really good for two months. Hopefully, it lasts. I knew I'd have to wait until after my surgery and PT, but I'm not sure how long.

No. Impingement should be a very short recovery time. When I had impingement surgery, I could use my shoulder the next day.

Hey Shuperman!!

Just wanted to tell you that it usually takes four to six months after surgery to recover and longer if you aren't strict with following the post op instructions. You need lots of support from someone who is willing to stand by you and help you so you don't have repeated injury. Good luck to you and hugs!
