We went to physio today to mobilise the shoulder.
It has been a week now since the operation and Kate has done fantastically well to be home so soon. However, it will take a long time to heal completely.
Today was a more difficult day than yesterday, following all yesterday's excitement (Independent Living Centre, appointment with the OT, doctor appointment). The pain is still acute and the 'phantom limb' remains very disconcerting.
Tomorrow will be a very slow, restful day.
Katy - I think you have done incredibly well in just one week! You are amazing!
ReplyDeleteJust a thought - I read that hypno-therapy can help with the phantom limb - they get the brain to remap the shape of the body.
Lots of love and warm thoughts and prayers from the Viljoens
Well done Katy - so far in just one week. Glad to hear tomorrow will be more relaxing. Praying that the pain will ease and the phantom pain will disappear. Take care my friend.
