Not a great day today

I'm super sore this morning.  I took a pain pill and am waiting for it to start working before I start my morning exercises.  My exercise set has changed a bit since last PT session with Kyle.  The pendulum swings are out unless I feel like I need them for warm-up stretching, which I might today.  Ditto the shoulder blade pinches, although those will be handy for stretching while on the computer at work.

So now my exercises are:

• Biceps curls with 3-pound weight (yay, me!)
• Isometrics (7 different exercises on the wall)
• Pulleys (3 minutes each way)
• Behind the back strap from hell (4 reps if I can manage it, hold for 30 seconds)
• On my back stick raising thing (2 sets of 10)
• On my back arm-up shoulder raising thing (2 sets of 10 with chili can, or 3 sets without, hold for 5 seconds)
• On my side elbow rotating thing (2 sets of 10 with chili can, or 3 sets without)

The stick raising is going well; it's already easier to get that stick up than it was when I started.  So that's a good thing.  I am not sure I should tell Kyle it's getting easier, though...  whenever something is easy in my PT sessions, he adds weight.  Cracks me up!  I can see the Diabolical Mad Scientist rubbing his hands and cackling in glee.  "Ahhh!  Ze silly patient zinks she can get avay wiz easy exercises, hm?  Ve vill show her vat is vat, eh?"  :-)

I'm feeling kind of discouraged at the amount of misery my shoulder is dealing out since I lost the sling on Tuesday.  I know that I have got to do my exercises but it's hard, because I know they're going to hurt while I'm doing them, as well as after.  But exercises must be done.  No pain, no gain, right?

Right??
