    @Jockette I hope your appointment brings you the same good news as mine. What is your ROM now? As for the PA I really think she was surprised that my husband stood up to her.

    @OJ2 I agree with you it seems every surgeon is different. while I understand the progress the doctors want for their patients, I feel they need to realize each person heals at a different rate. My doctor has told me that if I am not 120 by week 6 then they will gas me in the office and...
