Yes thank you for asking, it’s going well. So its been two and a half months now since I had the surgery and so I am still in the process of doing rehab every single day. I have to get my shoulder worked on, I have to do exercises with bands, exercises that are kind of like range of motion type. So I am not on the court yet, I think I need about another month or so before I can get on the court and start that progression of training,” said Bouchard when asked about her recovery process.
