I've had a lot of accomplishments; dressing Myself head to toe, being able to do almost anything except bathe myself (I can wash my upper body and hair myself), I've been able to do house work in very light moderation.
Yesterday was the first night I tried sleeping with no pain medication, currently on percocets. I usually have very little pain during the day. Yesterday was horrible. I went to sleep around 10 pm woke up at midnight in horrible pain. The bone pain was almost as bad as when they set the bone. So I had to take two percocets.
Lesson learned, don't try and wean yourself off pain meds fast.
Friday was my first full day back to work. When I sit for a long time my arm gets sore and have to get up and let the blood flow.
Monday will be my third trip to the orthopaedic surgeon. I'm hoping they change the under garment of my Sarmiento brace.
Will post updates after the visit.
P.S baby powder and a chopstick are saving my life right now. The itch is crazy
Wow! It took until maybe week 17 to be able to shower completely! Still have to go to Supercuts sometimes for a shampoo if I didn't do a good job. Also have radial nerve palsy. Don't break your humerus.
