While there’s still a good amount of strength to rebuild and my range of motion has room for improvement, I'm 100% dedicated to my rehabilitation. The exciting news is that I've been cleared to swim, and this has sparked a wave of optimism about the progress that lies ahead!

My recovery journey has truly been a testament to commitment. Physical therapy goes far beyond the exercises I tackle during my clinic sessions; it's about the consistent effort I invest outside of those walls as well.

Now, five months after my operation, I’m more determined than ever to regain my full range of motion, and I have every confidence that I will reach that goal by the end of the year.

While my journey to recovery has certainly been supported by my incredible surgical team, dedicated physical therapists, and some favorable genetics, I firmly believe that hard work ultimately makes the biggest difference!

I dedicated myself to physical therapy 3 times a week and stuck to my home exercises religiously, 2x a day. Every small effort added up! I’ve put in a tremendous amount of effort to achieve what some might label as “luck.”

Here’s to wishing him a swift and smooth recovery! As I navigated my own healing journey, I often heard people remark how lucky I was. While I appreciate the good fortune I had, it’s important to recognize the hard work that went into it.

But here's an interesting twist: my dad, who got an MRI revealing his own rotator cuff tear on the same day I had my surgery, had his operation just yesterday, the same day I had my check-up.

It was a full-circle moment for our family! I'm holding onto hope that his recovery mirrors my own success.

Lol my dog also joins you uninvited.

My dog loves baths. I think it is a born with it kind of thing but also you have to make it enjoyable. He just has since day one. He will just jump in unprompted to demand baths. If you are folding or putting away towels, he makes a b-line to the tub.

so the Mitibushi decided to make their parking space half in the spot and half on the hash lines at Sam’s Club on Youngerman in Jax. #disability #disabledParking #accessibleParking #ParkingFails #Accessibility

Nice it fell on a holiday weekend

Thank you for listening, Vik!
