Shoulder Recovery

So I've had some ups and downs with my shoulder recovery ...

At first, I felt like crap for the first 4 days after surgery. I
couldn't sleep or get comfortable at all. I was only sleeping like an
hour every once in a while. Imagine trying to sleep with your
shoulder dislocated from its socket. Yah, that wouldn't feel to good.
Well, that's pretty much what it felt like for the first few days
after surgery.

Anyways, On the 5th day I thought things were going pretty well. I
went in to the office at work and then came home at lunch for the day.
In the afternoon I started breaking out with a slight rash down my
right arm. This is the same arm I had my surgery on. I started
feeling sick and nasty so we called the doctor for fear of an
infection starting. After taking some benedryl and going to sleep
that night I woke up the next day feeling fine.

So I felt fine today, the 6th day and have felt fine ever since. The
dr. thinks that it might have been an allergic reaction to the arm
sling I was using. Wierd huh? Well, I feel much better today and I
can already start to use my arm again so Woo hoo!!!
