Good day today. I went to the doctor for my post-op visit.
I was able to wash my arm and take all of the tape off of my arm. :) It felt good to wash my hands! After x-ray they were able to determine that, for now, the repair is holding. I am in a new brace. I am allowed to try and go back to work tomorrow, and I can drive myself to and from work.
I am scared for several reasons. First, the bone still may not take. Second, I tire so easily. Third, I am a worry wart and like to borrow trouble. (I see the glass as half empty even when it is 3/4 full.)
I am able to extend my arm almost 70 whole degrees. Hopefully over the next four weeks, I will begin to regain movement in my elbow.
I am in this new brace for four weeks. Then it is more x-rays and hopefully some to good news. I don't want more surgery. Now it is time for faith and prayers. I can use any prayers available! If the bone will heal, all will be well. If I totaled it, then there is more surgery on the way. I'm trusting the Lord and will have faith that all will be well. He has never let me down before!
