Four weeks after my shoulder surgery
A report on the recovery process
Four weeks in from my shoulder surgery and things are feeling like they are getting back to normal.
It's interesting—as a physician for many years, I’ve come to appreciate the struggles of my patients. I try to be very empathetic, focused on helping them to get better and charting that course. Nothing creates more understanding of that process than having a medical issue yourself!
While my surgery has been uncomplicated to date, except for a brief trip to the ER I’ll describe below, it is a reminder of the ups and downs we all face on our personal road to recovery.
