Last Week a Hero, This Week a Wimp
I had my follow up appointment with the Doctor yesterday. I felt a little woozie when they took my splint off. I don't know, my arm just felt wierd, and looked wierd with bright purple bruises and big black stitches. I felt like such a WIMP! They took out the stitches, and assured me that everything is healing up nicely.
Time for rehabilitation.
I'm supposed to take off my splint OFTEN and start using my left arm/hand as much as possible. It's really hard to do! I feel like an injured little bird with a broken wing. I just want keep it wrapped up and protected. Ugh.
Anyway, the good news is......the Dr recommended 2-3 more weeks off from work. Cool!
I have decided to really ENJOY this time off. I want to concentrate on my core. I want to belly dance. I want to update my blog. I want to cook healthy delicious meals. I want to walk....and run. I want to play with Jaxon. I want to READ. I want to catch up on my favorite podcasts.

You're not a wimp. I broke my arm in seven places paragliding and had to have rods, etc... when they finally took the external rods out i felt like my arm was a foreign object, my hand just flopped.. no matter how much i told it to move it just laid there.. it's a very odd sensation to tell your hand to move and it barely flinches... just do the rehab and you'll be GREAT! ... the upside was my hand was as soft as a baby's butt!
