Bat Goddess - esteem yourself lucky when you can lift your arm as high as your head. After 3 months of daily PT I wasn't. Reading your posts I just remember one day before Xmas when I sat crying on the table and despaired of any recovery. Then the therapist asked me: How could you move your arm when they took off the cast? - Not at all. - And how now? - Better. After half a year of hard training my broken arm was more agile than the sound one; it's the only one I can use to scratch my back up to the shoulderblades.

By the way - I got more than giggles from the nurses when I asked: What's this PT you're rolling me to? Public Torturehouse?
