Okay, how do I explain this haha?

Raise your arm up towards the sky/ceiling. Like, actually extend it as much as you can. Is it straight? If so, then congrats, it took me over 8 years to do that

My shoulder instability has been a wild ride. From my shoulders getting badly inflamed from holding a goddamn remote control in front of me. To my shoulder issues causing elbow issues that made holding a cup of coffee severely painful at points. And I'll never forget how simply resting my really bad (left) shoulder on my college desk would make it feel like it was coming out of its socket. And to make things worse, due to my issue being defined as "multidirectional, non-traumatic hypermobility", surgery wouldn't have helped according to the orthopedic surgeons.

Well, endless physical therapy and thoughtful lifting later, I can finally lifted in a full, normal range of motion. And when I fully extend my arms, they are actually straight. Just 6 months ago, when I'd do that, even without weight, I couldn't get them to extend all the way. My joints just wouldn't let me.

But now I can!!! And goddamn I am still weak Well, at least I've regained my full range of motion. Now to make it stronger!!!

And goddamn, since it's been a long time since I've written fiction, it seems so intimidating haha.
