One armed bandit


Well, I'm back, although my activity will be greatly reduced for a while I suspect. Left handed typing is not my forte...

I'm stuck in a sling for three weeks, not allowed to use my arm at all. I do have to let it dangle everyday, and
swing it passively like a pendulum to keep the joint mobile but that's about it.

Pain killers are on the menu every 5 hours, along with something to counteract the nausea I get from those meds. I'm a sensitive girl, you know...

Will pop around now and then between naps.

    So pleased that you are on the road to recovery! Take it easy.

    It's OK if you type slowly left-handed. I'll just read it slowly!

    I'm so glad it's all over and now you can begin the road to true recovery. Don't forget to take a ton of vitamin E & D (it promotes healing.) Fish oil too. Krill Oil if you want to really go crazy.

    I've been wondering about you all day and couldn't get on line.
    I do hope any pain and discomfort will soon disappear. Meanwhile a big hug - take it easy and let the healing begin!
