      Lets call this day 3. For Protocol purposes since that ia when i began the combo.
      Finished off 25 minutes of treadmill before i was told it is to late, to much noise.etc....
      Did some squats and lunges..
      I need to start driving. The sooner the better! Then i can hit the gym every dam night for cardio or legs stretching etc.
      1ml tb500/ 500mcg bpc 157
      Some better overall function with my right arm.
      I actually was able to use it eating my dinner . This makes me very happy and excited.
      Arm is still deformed looking. Upper bicep seems bigger(very swollen) and no lower bicep have my appointment tomorrow for therapy. Im really looking forward to seeing how much mobility and range of motion ive improved since yesterday!...??????
      Used the cryo ice therapy. Tonight. Will be using this a few times a day to see if this will help with some of this swelling.

      Just had my surgery
      Day 4 protocol
      Ok. Had therapy today. Added some exercises. I was a little stiff at first. A little sore but ..it didnt last long. My range of motion has increased so much in 3 days. My arm is almoat at full extension down at my side with very little bend. I was doing full straightening of the arm and stretching pulling/flexing the fingers backward. Then followed by flexing/stretching forearm .
      Again...she had me laying on my back with my arm between her arms and hands keep arm fully extended and working on raising my arm to a 90 degree angle. Front of shoulder was painful. Not nearly like the first time. She would work on this amd massaging the shoulder and next thing i new...BAM my arm was gliding up and down freely almost pain free.. She was surprised. And made a comment about it how on only the second time my arm was gliding and moving very well.
      We then proceeded to work the arm straight out to the side, in a fully extended position. Again I experienced some pain and tightness like a rubber band. She worked the shoulder and messaged the shoulder. After a few passes we were at 90 degrees. Straight out to the side was more painful. BUT nothing like the last time.
      scapular retractions
      Repeat 10x for 5 sec.

      Upper trap stretch
      Both sides Repeat 3x hold 30 sec

      Pendulum circles
      3 sets each direction about 20 sec each time

      Gripmaster hand exercise. Pic below
      Repeat 20x , hold 10 sec, 5lbs ( ezpz)

      710n4yRpseL._AC_SL1500_.jpg

      Wrist supination stretch
      Repeat 3x. Hold 20-30sec

      Wrist flexor stretch /both ways
      hold 30 sec ,5 sets

      New (everything below)
      Layed on my left side. Arm extended on my right side.
      Shrug up hold 2-3sec ,shrug down hold2-3 sec.
      Repeat 10x

      Move/shrug forward hold 2-3sec/ shrug backward
      hold 2-3 sec. Repeat 10x

      Then i had to do these clockwise 10x and counterclockwise 10x

      Wrist curls
      5 sets x 8reps

      Reverse wrist curls
      5 sets x 8 reps

      Reverse curls
      3 sets x 8 reps

      Cryo ice therapy.
      This completed my therapy today. I dont think i missed anything. I will repeat stretching at home 1-2x ed. As much as i can.
      Bicep is swollen ... Crazy how swollen it is... I hope this isnt going to be an issue. Hopefully this is holding a shit ton of water.

      Some more salad today
      Grilled chicken, lettuce, carrots, pimento olives.

      Day 7 protocol
      Ok last few days had to lay off. Ended up going to the doc
      After a few days of self medication. (Asthma). Nothing was working. Anyway had to get dreaded prednisone anew antibiotic. Seems to be helping so far.
      Today was therapy.
      Introduced Electric stimulation. Upper shoulder/clavical.
      Created a shrugging motion/retraction. Lasted for 20minutes.
      Also introduced a band version of a forward delt raise.
      Hands were in front about 45-60degrees and pull downward so each hand come down to my side allowing the tension to pull my arms back to a forward position allowing a nice stretch (hold for 5 seconds)
      Another new movement.
      Lying on my back using my left arm,i hold this 2-3 foot 1" pvc pipe. At the top it is in The shape of a T. This ianwhat it looks like actually. The letter. (T.) So with my right hand i hold the top cross section. Now i use my right hand to push the T in an upward position across my body into the air while hold the top with my right hand.

      scapular retractions
      Repeat 10x for 5 sec.

      Upper trap stretch
      Both sides Repeat 3x hold 30 sec

      Pendulum circles
      3 sets each direction about 20 sec each time

      Gripmaster hand exercise. Pic below
      Repeat 20x , hold 10 sec, 7lbs ( ezpz)

      Wrist supination stretch
      Repeat 3x. Hold 20-30sec

      Wrist flexor stretch /both ways
      hold 30 sec ,5 sets

      New (everything below)
      Layed on my left side. Arm extended on my right side.
      Shrug up hold 2-3sec ,shrug down hold2-3 sec.
      Repeat 10x

      Move/shrug forward hold 2-3sec/ shrug backward
      hold 2-3 sec. Repeat 10x

      Then i had to do these clockwise 10x and counterclockwise 10x

      Wrist curls
      5 sets x 8reps

      Reverse wrist curls
      5 sets x 8 reps

      Reverse curls
      3 sets x 8 reps

      Cryo ice therapy.
      This completed my therapy today.
      Its like doing a forward delt raise laying on your back. The only difference is all the weight is on my left arm by pushing the T im holding the top stretching the shoulder a little further and holding it at the highest point with the most tension. I did this 20x.
      Will be starting my protocol back tonight.
      Getting on the treadmill now. Update more as i go.

      Yesterday did the treadmill one time. Still hocking up a lot of phlegm and thick mucus! Come on the 27th. Hopefully i can get out of this sling. We will see.
      Started incorporating some light band work on the left side.
      Forward and side delt raise. 3 sets x 8
      3 sets of hammer curls x 8
      3 sets of supination curls x 8
      3 sets of one arm shoulder press x8.
      Everything is light but dont want to cause any unwanted stress on my right side from using the left. So im feeling things out as i go.
      Sleep is still horrible. I dint get to sleep til about 5am or so.
      Usually the best sleep i have is between 8-12am.
      Today is day 8 protocol. 500mcg bpc157.
      Definitely feelnas though it is helping a lot. Everytime i go to therapy they are very surprised how much better and smoother my range of motion has become with the protocol they have for me.
      My hair seems to be growing faster my nails harder and longer. Looking Forward to see what the next few weeks have in store for me.
      Will begin some stretching soon and update my daily plan.

      Last few days have been very sore In one spot where there is an incision. Think ive been over doing it a bit. Although i feel like this is moving much slower than i originally anticipated. It hasnt been 5 weeks from surgery. Been going to therapy for about 2-3weeks total. and im doing great according to my therapist. Range of motion is well beyond what they would have expected. She did some added massage therapy.. Upper pec into the front head of the shoulder and down the bicep. Seemed to help but this swelling doesnt seem to want to subside at all. Just finished off 25minutes on the treadmill. Once earlier today for about 30minutes.
      Im finally back to being able to breathe properly.
      Tonight day 13 bpc157 only
      Nails seem to grow much thicker and faster. As does my hair. Skin is feeling a little smoother. Wish there was something to do about this swelling.
      Use of arm is still pretty much nothing.
      I have therapy tomorrow. One week til i see my surgeon and see what the new plan will be or if nothing will change.
      Feel like im going crazy. Having to rely on everyone and wait for someone to help with almost everythings plays with your head. Im getting bloodwork done this week.
      Let see where my levels are at.
      Ill be around now that im up and (not sick)feeling more like myself.
      If ive never said this before. I hate prednisone!! The side effects are horrible. Avoid it if possible..

      On my way to therapy. Will update shortly!!

      Just had my surgery
      3 x 12 Squats
      Left arm (everything ia 3 x12)
      Delt raises_front-side
      Oh press
      Swimmer press
      Supination curl
      Hammer curl
      Reverse curl
      Wrist curl
      Adding in this everning tricep and some back.
      Just finished off 35 minutes on the treadmill. Still can only walk no jogging or anything jaring to the shoulder. Still in the sling.
      Today i started 30 second of HIIT so to speak. Avg pace is 3.2mph walking on a 2.5 -3%incline. So every 2 minutes i will increase speed to 3.9 lol... But it is as safe and fast as i can go for now. With one arm. Follwing the 35 minutes with a 3 minute cooldown (2.0mph).

      Eating a salad as we speak.

      The the log will get better, right now it is still slow until i can actually drive..

      Once this happens i will have a lot more to report and be able to do. I have therapy again monday.

      Wednesday i see my ortho. Waiting to see what she says about this swelling and. How far along i am. Hopefully i will be outta this sling.

      Freshly made fried rice with egg, shrimp and chicken from kobe.

      This will not be eaten all at one sitting.

      This will be split between 2 or 3 meals.

      Will be dropping total calories down starting monday. Also will change up some macros.

      Sorry everyone. Things have been getting harder. Had to deal with and keep my medical/dental/ vision insurance from being canceled. Since ive been out of work i have to pay the premiums out of pocket. Other wise im dropped and would have to pick up cobra. So had to kick out around 450 for the first month.
      Saw my ortho. She said im doing ..well. That this is the hardest surgery she does to recover from. (Rotator with labral/bicep tenodesis. Ive only been in therapy about 3 weeks. 2 times a week. She compared where i am to 10 weeks along. The sling has come off.
      Since the 27th . since then dam im sore and hurting. Swelling is still there and makes things very awkward.
      Firdt day out of the sling my arm felt like it was in the wrong position. Like it was sitting out of place. I was kinda worried. But i believe it is from the sleeves of my shirt and/or jacket twisting in the upper arm/ arm pit area. Feels like it pulls the arm outta socket and forward.
      Now i had been released to go to work if they can accommodate my conditions. I was upset with this.
      Conditions are desk work/sedentary. Able to perform basic ADL's(activities of daily living) such as feeding myself, brushing my teeth, trying to comb my hair. No repetitive reaching or extending. No reaching above chest level. No trying to reach behind me. or out to the side. No lifting above 1lb.
      Driving is still an issue. I cannot use my right arm so turning right is a problem. The seatbelt is a problem.
      This week i start more aggressive therapy now that im outta the sling. Im suppose to return to work on the 8th.
      But we will see if they can accommodate me. Lol..
      Im icing more often now that im outta the sling.
      Starting isometeics. Therapy has been increased now to 3x a weeks for the next 8 weeks.

      Had some other issue's we are trying to deal with. Found out everything we have had in storage for the last 3 yrs is gonna have to be trashed. (All of our belongings from when we had to move) the unit ia infested with rodents. This is very upsetting. Much of this cannot be replaced. (Personal stuff memories)This unit was holding everything for a single family home.
      Update again later.
