Week 6 of the broken humerus

So I had my 6 week visit to doctors and I was pretty disappointed. Al though the doctor said I was in almost perfect alignment and would heal like it never broke, my X-ray didn't show a calcified bone. So I could only start home aggressive physio. 

I am allowed to start normal motion of my arm and take off the brace for showering as its not a supportive functioning brace anymore. My arm is nothing but skin and bones! 

I took the longest shower of my life!

Week 5 fractured humerus

Week 5 is full of ups and downs.

I've been able to sleep laying down for a couple nights, but the 3rd time I woke up in a lot of pain. It was good while it lasted.

Some of the swelling came back, not sure why as I still have very little pain day to day.

I'm doing more wrist, arm and elbow exercises and I've been able to move my shoulder. 

Tomorrow will be 6 weeks. Can't wait until Monday.

Week 4

It's been over a month now since I broke my humerus.

I think I've come a long way, but it feels so far still. My arm feels much better. But sometimes it feels awkward. The rash that was under my cast still itches a bit, I learned my lesson in sticking things in the cast to scratch an itch. 

I'm at the point where I want to rip off this brace, but that wouldn't be good. 

I'm still having trouble sleeping, but my bones are stable enough that I can lay down for a couple minutes to get that warm bed feeling. 

I cannot wait until October 19 to find out if my bone has healed enough to take off this cast. I'm reaching the end of my tolerance. 

I did manage to get a haircut and pedicure. Both made me feel good. As my hair was so long and toe nails needed a cutting!
