I had my first round of physical therapy yesterday. It was more of an evaluation session but did include some movement of the shoulder. This could prove to be a lengthy recovery. I learned yesterday that my surgeon wants me to have PT three times a week for six weeks TO START WITH. Very limited movement of the shoulder during that time period. I have another session tomorrow and then every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday until the end of May. The cost may bankrupt me but I need to do the necessary thing. I will have to look into AHCCS (that's the State Health Care Cost Containment System) for possible help with the co-pay. I was on it once, several years ago, but they bounced me off when an increase in my monthly Social Security benefit put me above the income limit. Robert E Paty, Scottsdale, AZ aka Mad Hatter
