Has it been a month already!
I'm doing pretty good, I wish I was all healed but the truth is this stuff just takes it's own sweet time.
It is hard for a man to ask for help but fortunately I'm not shy, and since I had a little problem with infection earlier I am now more than willing to let my body heal, and ask someone to help!!.
I took my boat out this weekend and a buddy had to do all the spring cleaning and lugging the gear, and of course I had to wear my long sleeve compression garment over my arms and I even bought a funky straw cowboy hat to keep my face shaded. Luckily I live in Texas, so the hat doesn't look out of place. I just never have wore hats so that in it self has taken some getting used to.
Still a little sore in the elbows and arm pits, from my arm lift, and my face and neck seem to be healing up nicely.
All in all I would say everything is doing well, I'm already saving for my last round of PS with Dr. S. So that is my recommendation. Yes I would go back and I am going Back!!

Good for you!! Out boating at only 4 weeks post-op!! We leave in just 19 days (but who's counting) for Costa Rica & my 3 procedures - TT, BA & arm lift. The arm lift has me scared to death!! The pain, the immobility, the pain, the weight limit - the pain!!
I'm glad to hear that you are doing do so well. Keep up the good work & get use to the hat!! lol
