You’re just back from having shoulder surgery. How long did the recovery take and what was the process?
I’m still recovering from it, it’s still not 100%. I have to do my shoulder exercises every day to maintain the strength in it. They say it takes a year for a full recovery and I’m about on the 8th month mark. The first three months you are not allowed to even use your arm. You must keep it in the sling and do nothing with it. If you lift the weight of your arm, you are doing damage to it even though it doesn’t hurt. It was a really hard injury for me because I usually can go off pain, but with this injury I couldn’t. I had to listen to the doctors because if I didn’t, I would be doing damage to all the ligaments. By far the most challenging injury especially mentally. It still hurts in certain spots and there’s still tricks I can’t fully commit to because I’m scared of throwing my arms above my head. It’s getting a lot stronger and definitely more strong than weak right now.
