@wisco, good for you. I've had several surgeries that required p.t. I sure remember the shoulder surgery p.t. for "no pain, no gain" ! Ouch, for 4 months of it. I stuck with it though and regained total mobility, which was very important to me, as a professional artist painting very large canvases.
You have parrots 🦜 ! I've had two super intelligent African Greys in my day. Both had vocabularies of upward of 500 words. They literally ran my life, but they enriched my life so very much!
My best to you and your parrots!
Laurie

@artist01
May I ask what kind of shoulder surgery you had? I've had three so far. Now they want to do bilateral shoulder surgery replacement but I have refused so far.
Take care,
Jake
@artist01, @wisco. Just had to drop in to say Hi!! I’m so encouraged by your walking stories, and even though you can’t get out, you’re still thinking about walking!! So that means the wander lust is still with you. Giggle. At the risk of going totally off topic, I have to say I too, had an African Grey. He was one of the most cantankerous, ornery and entertaining companions! LOL. His name was Poe and similar to your birds, Laura, had an enormous working vocabulary and array of every sound imaginable from keys dangling, doors opening, squeaks in floors, microwaves, mimicking our infant daughter’s cry so I’d run in two directions, etc. Never a dull moment!
“Hi, my name is Poe Parrot. I can talk, can you fly?” Used to freak people out all the time. Enjoy the day ahead! Air Hugs! Lori.

Ah, both mine were African greys! Sadly, I placed them a few years ago (with a very reputable rescue group). Because of my back and neck problems with stenosis/arthritis, I was no longer able to clean the huge cages like I could and felt rehoming them was best. I miss how funny and entertaining they were! Yes, they both had huge vocabularies - I used to write it all down, but finally quit trying to keep up.
