SHOULDER REPORT -- DAY 6

Physical therapy yesterday evening went well, I think. Mike said he didn't cry -- not even once. I think he feels encouraged. Range of motion seemed good. The therapist exchanged the original bandage for a lighter one making icing easier. Mike was restless in the night, though -- I think he probably had a little pain due to the therapy. He'll see the therapist again Thursday. And then we might just get off to the homestead for the weekend.

Tiger balm, or better yet Ultra
Tiger Balm stuff makes bengay look like oil of olay. It's a bit spendy, but there's a reason why. Also have had some good success with rubbing alcohol. You just have to let a rag soaked in it sit against the sore area. I even wraped the rag in a plastic bag and slept with it in contact with my skin. I got a mild rash, but the muscle was quite relaxed afterward. Worth it. Best of luck and hang in there dad! -mvw
