Finally Throwing

Man am I happy. Today is my first cleared day to throw and I can’t wait. It’s been 3 months and 3 days since the surgery and finally the day that I’ve been waiting for since then has arrived. All the hard work, the rehab, the mental struggle, and strain to get back healthy will hopefully keep me at ease after today’s throwing session. The program says that I can throw around 50 tosses, which is a lot considering the time I have taken off and what was done to my arm, but I am extremely excited to see how everything goes. The arm feels really good, no pain, some soreness in the mornings and when trying to stretch my arm passed full extension but from what I understand that is normal so no worries there. As far as throwing, I don’t even know what to expect. Will there be any pain, what will my arm feel like, will my mechanics still be the same, just some odd questions about throwing that you pretty much have to be in the situation to understand. It’s been a long time, not so much, but in the mind of a ball player not being able to throw for over 3 months seems like an eternity. From all the rehab my arm, shoulder, back, and lower half feel pretty good. I haven’t done much running or lifting to this point but since I am back home for the summer as of today hopefully I can get my routine started real quick. I’ll keep all informed as to how the throwing goes and let you know my thoughts on how I feel after.
