The good news: I now CAN lift my hands over my head. I'm progressing at a rate the doctors have seen extremely rarely, instead of being here till New Years I'll now be going home on the 12th! Good deal.
The bad news: I thought I lost about 20 pounds. Turns out that wasn't the case. I lost 32 pounds... The worst part is that it could be up to a year before I can start lifting again. I really hope it won't take that long, but there's a good chance.
More good news: whatever the case, I'm still alive. I should have been obliterated by that SUV, so even if I can't lift for a year... life is still good, comparatively.
