Donna - Not trying to hijack this thread - simply writing while I still remember what I wanted to say!

Kathy - glad to hear you are over the surgery successfully and on your way. Gary had the rotator cuff surgery five years ago with terrific results.

For what it is worth - stick to EXACTLY what the doctor and physical therapist tell you. No more, no less, and no change in sequence. IF it's 10 minutes of heat and/or ice, make it 10 minutes. You'll need Bill's help on some things for the next few weeks, I'm guessing. It takes time - nearly a year in Gary's case to be fully up and running with tennis - but the long term resuls have been fantastic.

Progress can be a bit back and forth with these surgeries - and it's so easy to feel discouraged if, despite great compliance, you find yourself taking a step backwards. If you get sudden restrictions in range of motion or pain, call them right away to get your program adjusted.

We're pulling for you!

Cheers, Anne
