I am definitely feeling a lot better than I have been in the last couple of days.
My hand no longer hurts, so there is no need to take any more pain pills [something I am pleased about], but there is still some swelling, causing pressure on my hand, forcing me to keep it elevated as much as possible.
And I’m still essentially helpless, unable to easily do simple tasks like brushing my hair, showering, fixing myself something to eat etc. as any exertion on the hand, even just letting it drop below my elbow, is painful, and that is very frustrating.
I know, I’m such a whiner, but I can’t help it. I just can’t wait to get this cast off on Thursday, and then get back on the bike. This sitting around the house all day is getting real old about now.
The only upside to all this is, at least I haven’t gained any weight.
Glad to hear you are feeling better and off the pills (I am fully aware of your “no drug, vitamin, and herbal tea is not a tea” policy)
So, are you coming to work tomorrow and can you zip up your fly yet or are you bringing Edie with you? Maybe you should wear sweat pants.
I’m so helpful.
PS we received a rejection today for parts we don’t even MAKE!
Well, it sure sounds like progress is being made, but when you are so frustrated with the situation, the progress is hard to see on a minute by minute basis. I hope the relief is as much as you are expecting when you get the cast off Thursday. Good luck.
