6 week check up with Dr McGoldrick

Has it really been 6 weeks already? We are all very happy at Camp Giusti! Dr McGoldrick was happy with Tom's range of motion so he can start building up muscle to make the shoulder stronger. Tom uses one of his tools from back in his machinist days and Dr McGoldrick was intrigued with it.

The shoulder will never be 100 % because Tom is missing the top part of his rotator cuff but Dr McGoldrick feels his repair job will work. Tom is signed up at healthsport with Pam, one of their trainers, to work on building up muscles. That starts this Friday. He got the green light to drive! So he is back in the drivers seat at Camp Giusti. Plus he can practice his putting and chipping but no long drives on the golf course yet.
