Thanks Mary, I'm keen to be back to my usual self and if I said this whole shoulder thing hadn't affected me mentally I'd be lying. It has sucked. Still, endure it if possible is what MA says and that's what I've done...I've inched it forward. I've actually had far worse injuries but none that has lingered for so long. Still, I'm lifting now, getting some strength back and also feeling mentally good...I think that's equally important.
