as often as you need to, that’s what they are for. And everyday will get a little better. We’re all pulling for you.
Boy, you must have really done a number on that bone. Just take care and get better quickly.
No choice for me; I have an extremely for tolerance for pain anyway but this much pain is way beyond my expectation. A large portion of the bone actually broke off and was laying inside my arm. Consequently, my surgeon had a lot of clean up and removal to do. Makes me queasy just thinking about it.
several bouts with broken bones in her elderly days. The worst was breaking a leg and arm on opposite sides. She too had shattered fragments, very painful. But she DID get through it and you will too.
Just think of all the people throughout history who had to drag themselves through these things with nothing more than wood splints and shots of whiskey!
We’re all pulling for you.So sorry about your pain, Patti, and all you have to go through, but hopefully watching Days and reading all our crazy comments will help you get through it, even if just a little!
the show is on fire right now and between watching it and waiting to reviewing all of your comments is keeping my mind from separating itself from my body. I’m a pretty strong person, and do realize that what I’m going through now will eventually subside. I wish I could post more but this 1-handed typing just adds to my frustrations, so for the most part, I’ll rely on all if you to keep me entertained.
been thinking of you. I’m sorry that it was worse than expected, but hope that this pain subsides quickly.
pain gets a little better with every passing day. Go for my 1 week check-up tomorrow. Still dread starting PT, but determined to do it.
you get a good report Wed. when you have your 1 week checkup. Prayers and good thoughts coming your way!
Goody
1 week post-op exam went well. Doc seems pleased with his work and my progress. Have 20 staples which come out next week, and then PT starts following week. He seems to think I’m progressing very well, so I’ll take that as good news.
I really miss posting at my normal pace; just too aggravating hunt-n-peck typing; but, that being said, I had my staples removed on Wednesday, and start my PT this coming Tuesday, 12/3. I am feeling a little queasy about that, because I know it’s going to hurt like heck, but I’m determined to fully mend. I’m doing some mild home exercises that they gave me to do, and I can say, without a doubt, it’s going slowly and painfully, but I’m looking forward to a much healthier Spring (I hope). Thanks again to you and everyone else for that matter for your concern.
