Hi Manda
Thanks for your positive comments. I know just how you feel. I had a pretty rough time from my surgery and no-one could touch my arm it was so sore and sensitive, even had to wear a sling for it for a while.But slowly doing the exercises from the physio at the times she specified I got it back to nearly normal. My favourite one is still spiders up the wall! just creeping those fingers up the wall and feeling the stretch, it used to feel like it would snap (it never did!).
Am hoping to join our local dragon boat group to help with my arm movement too. It's a good way to exercise and meet some more amazing people!
You'll be cuddling your 4 year old in no time!
Good luck
