Slowly but Sho'ly

So for those of you who haven't heard, I was in a bike accident a coupla weeks ago that resulted in a pretty severe shoulder injury. My initial reaction was "ow." The next day, I was questioning whether I would be able to do any of my jobs, much less play drums for the Bears again.

Well, things are gradually getting better. I have full mobility back, though still pretty restricted on lifting things in certain ways. I ice down my shoulder at least once a day to relieve some of the aches and pains of everyday functioning and take some Advil to help even more. Yesterday was my first drumline rehearsal since the accident, and things went pretty well. Despite not practicing for two weeks, I was able to play everything (with some discomfort) until the end of the rehearsal, when a certain part that we kept repeating put my arm in its most uncomfortable position for a long time and I eventually had to 'tap out.'

Still progress is being made and I will hopefully be fully recovered within a month or two.
