Will I ever swim again?

In December I broke the head of my humerus--nice chip off that has been screwed back on and cracked the tiba plateau. Have just started walking with a hemi walker and PT doing passive lifting of my elbow--ouch times 100 (and my PT says I'm not a woose). I am allowed to let my arm dangle from my shoulder and shrug my shoulders. All I can think about is getting back in the pool and moving my arm around. So scared that I won't have a full recovery. Anyone ever experienced these injuries? I'm 60 and know healing and recovery take longer. Next Dr. appointment on 29, should I ask if I can get back in pool?

    Both of those injuries sound like things can heal although it will take time. Just don't try to push it and with time, I think you'll be back in the pool in no time. Did they do anything with your knee injury or are they just letting it heal? __________________ Tabitha - busy swimming at the many swimming pools Little Rock
