This is a detailed account of my Tommy John surgery. I'm not a professional pitcher...just a baseball guy who has pitched ever since I could grab a baseball. Read a first hand account of the surgery, rehab, frustrations, and successes as I make my journey back to baseball and ultimately back to the pitcher's mound.

Small Setback
I took yesterday off from physical therapy. My forearm near the incision feels inflamed and sore so I decided to give it a day off yesterday.
I am guessing that I had my tubing too taut when I was doing my exercises and that put too much pressure on the muscle. It's tough to determine what the right amount of exertion really is. You feel like a pansy when you're not pushing yourself with these things. All of those years in the gym taught me to push as hard as you can.
I've never had to recover from an injury like this. I am just trying to do what I think is best. I'll talk to Ken about it on Wednesday.
I'll post my PT regimen this week. It's pretty extensive.
