helwenOnions are mostly down behind the garage now. The remainder may become part of dinner... I might get the potatoes planted today, but also we still have to finish digging a couple of beds. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fitzw's been doing most of that, of course.
I did manage to do a little bit of weaving yesterday. I need to keep up with that, and I definitely felt a bit more accomplished for having woven a bit more.
PT has helped; increased range of motion (ROM), decreased pain. Worked on two people yesterday, at home. One a senior citizen, so no real strength issues, just pain when I discovered that my ROM in a particular direction wasn't there -- it's a staple massage therapy effleurage move, so I'm a little annoyed about that. Second client requires deeper work; I was able to have some good effect by mixing in more energy work and having a good conversation with the involved muscles, but I had to use my left arm more than my right, including in directions that are more optimally achieved with the right. No danger of injuring the left, but it was awkward. And I could only work for about 45 minutes. Hit the areas that needed the most attention, thank goodness, but the last bit of the session was mostly with one hand. More than I could have done a few weeks ago, but not good enough to work in an office.
After much review and thought, I'm working out my plan for the year; well, parts of it. Some things are just going to have to wait until I know what will be happening with the shoulder. On the plus side of things, if I have to have surgery, I should be able to get a lot of reading done...
