Just raising and lowering the arm by a little bit. Got a minor pump, which is a lot right now. I haven't logged about this yet but the shoulder has undergone incredible atrophy. I can't stop touching it and marveling at how soft it is. It's not a downer or anything like that - I'm genuinely just amazed at how it feels.

Beyond 150 for the first time since surgery. Allowing the tiny bit of arm flexion this weight imposes now that I am cleared to move it.

Made this more challenging by the middle of the third set by not locking out.

GPP level really sucks right now. Winded by the ending sets of the workout. To be expected though.

Currently on the 6th day of recovery post-surgery. Using my phone's transcription mode to record this entry. Everything went well after the insurance hiccup. When I woke up I felt no pain due to the entirety of my arm being numb, which lasted about 18 hours afterwards.

Day 2 was a motherfucker, though. The meds did little to alleviate the pain, but by day three it was almost all gone. During this time I did very little but watch episodes of The Office on Netflix.

I feel like my arm is continuing to improve but I'm getting some new shoulder soreness on the injury side when I sleep. This only started about three days ago, oddly enough. It will wake me up every few hours and after getting up to use the restroom it'll be gone enough for me to go back to sleep before the cycle repeats. I've also noticed my good shoulder clicking a lot. I'm sure some funny stuff is happening from the weight of the sling being so constant. I have avoided training so far out of concern over accidentally flexing my arm but I'm going to start again today or tomorrow.

Writing this post out of boredom in the waiting room. After about four hours of sleep I checked in for surgery at 5:30 am. Fast forward through the brief wait and the nurse checking my vitals let me know the surgery would be at 7:30. She was shocked at the description she had on file that I was lifting a 700 lb tire, which is always fun flattery.

Later the surgeon himself (who is an awesome guy) comes out shaking his head and saying insurance is still holding things up. "They like to do this 20 minutes before surgery, apparently." Currently it's 8:32 and I'm already planning things out if I get denied - rehab exercises, what sport I'm going to focus on, etc.
