Tim has finally taken a picture of me doing the "Mt Everest" exercises.


I must say I was a bit surprised at the height. I know the pile is taller than me but I had no idea how much taller it was. No wonder Neil always says it's a pretty big pile. This just proves how wrong the rehab specialist at MECRS was. She said I may never be able to lift up my arm above my head again. I have to thank Neil and Rosemary for working tiredlessly with me on my arm to be able to do this! I think they'll make better therapists than many of the staff at MECRS. According to Prema, my private physio, this exercise is actually harder than just lifting up my arm through shoulder flexion or shoulder abduction because it also involves shoulder protraction.
