My shoulder's making progress. It's not too bad when it's moved slowly. Quick movements, like spasms in sleep, aren't fun. Otherwise, it's mostly dull aches with a lot of lateral stiffness.
Actually, the area that's worse than the shoulder is my ribcage. Coughing and sneezing brings misery.
Last week, I reported visiting my PT, Mike Bartels. As far as I know, Mike doesn't carry a black belt. But, the repetitive motions he's prescribed remind me of martial arts. At least what I know from watching Ralph Macchio's version of Karate Kid.
Here's Mike's version of "Paint the Fence."
I don't know, but perhaps he should call it something else. How about "touchdown Jesus" or "full-throttle-on-carrier-approach?" At least something with a little more pop than the the vanilla description:
I mean, how uninspiring. The great Mr Miyagi couldn't even breathe life into that one.

Daniel-san: Mr Miyagi, can't I go back to doing something cooler? Come to think of it, paint the fence wasn't that bad.
Mr Miyagi: No, grasshoper. Do Shoulder-1 ROM Flexion-Wand ... sigh... oh what's the use? See if Jackie Chan can do any better. I quit.

Oh well, I'll have to make do.
Banzai!
Brady - glad you are healing. In baseball terms you are on the 15 day DL, limited to running the warning track. Soon you will be doing the short-throw, clip-boarding, then back to be bull pen before you know it. Ol' Dad
