Third visit to the orthopaedic surgeon

18 days into my fractured humerus nightmare.

Today was just a routine check up with the doctor, no X-ray was taken.

I asked a bunch of questions.

The doctor said that it was good that I had little pain left and the swelling has gone down. Seems I'm on track for the 6-8 weeks he gave me as a timeline. 

The bones don't feel loose anymore and has really tightened up. 

I do not get as sore in the night anymore allowing me to sleep better. The doctor advised for me to continue to sleep in the reclining chair.

He has also advised me to continue slow movement, but not too often. 

I've noticed my right shoulder is getting smaller. Seems like I will have my work cut out for me at rehab. 

I've been scheduled for a visit back in a week and a follow up X-ray will be taken then.

Hope all goes well.

I've gone back to work now, but I do not go back to the office every day. Luckily my coworkers and work have been great.
