Please stay safe! I live in Houston, Texas, so I know a thing or two about hurricanes, tropical storms and floods. Sending prayers to everyone in its path.
I'm so sorry for what you went through. I'm glad you're alive and basically well, and I hope your shoulder injury is something that can heal on it's own and quickly. It had to be scary and devastating to be there watching the damage happen to your home. I'm glad you have family that you can stay with while you get things sorted out. What a mess. It will be okay. It doesn't seem like it now, but it will. My thoughts are with you and all that have been affected by this. I hope you have the time to regroup mentally before you have to deal with the clean-up. I'm sure your shoulder will recover, even if you need the help of doctors. Focus on your mental well-being. You've been through a traumatizing and exhausting event. I don't suppose the insurance company can take care of the clean-up? I don't know how home insurance works in that type of event. I live in an area where tornados are an issue. I've had some scary close calls, but never been hit, so I haven't had to personally deal with insurance company.
Firemedic, I'm so glad that things are looking up for you. I hope you had a chance to see your doctor about your shoulder? It sounds like you haven't had much time for yourself, but it would be a good idea to get assurance from your doctor that it will heal on its own or find out if you need physical therapy. I wish you a full recovery, and I'm glad your home survived. It sounds like you and your husband got an amazing amount of work done in a short period of time. I dread barre workouts, because I'm not much for that burning sensation in my butt (DOMs or whatever), but Cathe's Turbo Barre would be a great workout for avoiding overusing the shoulder. I think your plan of doing yoga is a great one. I find it mentally relaxing in addition to all of the benefits it provides for the body (flexibility, strength, balance, etc.). It would be a great way to mentally recover from all you've been through while doing something great for your body. It's good to know that you're okay. Thanks for keeping us updated.
I already had surgery on that shoulder so I have been doing the exercises that I did in physical therapy back then and it has made a great difference already. I just thought it was time to add some light resistance and then work my way back into light weights.Firemedic, I'm so glad that things are looking up for you.
