Hi Everyone - I’ve seen and appreciated your notifications and messages as well as the lovely flowers.

I have been concentrating on my recovery, getting somewhat frustrated but things are moving along.

Update - my daughter apologised via text message a few days after her “tantrum” We had a talk, cleared the air and things are much improved. I guess it’s been overwhelming for her too but effective communication is necessary in order to live amicably and without as much stress as possible. She is still keen to move out but I think also conflicted by the implications to herself. Oh well!

Therapy has been full on with visits to specialists twice every week as well as the three sessions I do by myself each day. I am still on prescription pain meds but now don’t have to wear my hand splint all the time. This puts added stress on my arm but it’s necessary to gain functional use. I can pick up a piece of paper and am noticing new things I can do most days.

It’s been a month now since the accident and I still need shower and dressing assistance. Energy levels are improving and I find I need fewer rests during the day. There are times when this whole experience seems unreal and I long to be able to use my hand and arm like I used to.

Wonder when I’ll be able to go back to Yoga. I asked the physio his prognosis yesterday and he said he’d be able to give me a ballpark figure if I had just had the fracture but with the nerve damage it’s a lot more complicated.

I got the dressing from my surgery wound changed last weekend. The scar looks fairly neat but there’s still a lot of bruising and swelling on my upper arm. My hand gets very puffy too.

Hopefully a month from now, I’ll be seeing a lot of improvement.
