500
Yeah, it's not much to brag about, but I'm ecstatic. I got back into the water yesterday after nearly two years of not being able to actually rotate my right arm. It's been a LOT of doctors on multiple continents, x-rays, a couple MRIs, and endless endless endless physical therapy, but I SWAM! An entire 500 yards. That's 20 laps for you landlubbers. Nothing to get excited about, but my shoulder is still very weak from, well, not being able to rotate for two years. I managed my first full rotation the week between Christmas and New Years and last week got the OK to move beyond rubber bands and into weights (no more than 5lbs) and *gasp* the gym OR pool (not both, I've been warned). Hip Hip Hooray!
