I had my last physiotherapy appointment today. Good-bye to Leslie the physiotherapist, who gave me a full assessment: I'm getting strength back in my left arm and shoulder faster than she expected, though from my point of view it's still weak as half a kitten. She said that when she first saw how badly damaged my arm was, she pretty much freaked, but I've worked hard and got most of my functionality back. I can't help wondering if I worked hard enough - the occasional day I blew off the exercises, did that make a difference? Well. I'll never know.
So now I still have to do arm exercises, and shoulder exercises, but on my own. She says I may get my arm to strengthen still more: it's at about 20-25 degrees, she considered 10 degrees her goal - might I get it to 15 degrees? Seems worth trying.
