Shoulder Replacement

I just spent the last 2 months working for a heli-ski company in Alaska and my physical therapist was thrilled with my progress upon my return. No, it's not a "normal" shoulder, but I'm SO HAPPY with the functional abilities I now have. I still have more strengthening and "learning" to do, but I was skiing, ice climbing, paddling a little, doing more advanced yoga and feeling great! I attached a picture of me on top of a mountain in the Chugach of Alaska, my right arm may not be quite as high as my left, but not bad! Thanks for such great work!

I wanted to thank you for helping me with my shoulder- even though it isn't as good as it was before I injured it, it is sure better than it was before you performed surgery on it. I have just minimal pain now and I am gaining strength in my arm every day. I thought I'd show you a picture taken of me last weekend in Craig, CO- it shows how I have been able to return to my normal activities since the surgery. This is something I could not do before my surgery because I didn't have strength in my right arm and the pain and instability of my shoulder joint was too great. So thanks very much again! I will make an appointment to see you this fall when I come out to visit my family in Maine.
