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?

When my PT walked into the room he just stood there. I asked, "What?" he said, since it is so hot (it is really hot here today)I thought it was about time that you ask again. I almost jumped off the table! I can get into the pool--water up to my neck, and do a breaststroke pull while walking. No free, no back, no fly, AND I have to use the steps to get in and out--no ladder.:bouncing:
Hey, it's start!
