Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

I'm happy to report more good news about my right arm!

On Monday I met with the surgeon, and she told me there is no need for surgery and no need for a cast. She also told me to stop using the sling — apparently if I kept it up, my arm might never fully straighten out again. As I try to do with my doctors, I took her advice.

I can report that just days later there has been a noticeable improvement in my ability to use my right arm. There is still quite a bit of pain — apparently there are other things in there that got stretched or possibly torn in the fall — but I am genuinely grateful that things are mending, and I'm looking forward to things getting better and better.

Thank you so much for all of your prayers. God is definitely at work through this and in this!

Sunday greetings everyone!

Well, it turns out I did break my arm! X-rays confirmed a fracture on the head of my radial bone — not broken clean through, just cracked, which is the good news. The arm is in a sling for the next two to three weeks, and on Monday I meet with an orthopedic surgeon. My doctor says it's 99% likely the surgeon won't need to operate, so that is good news as well.

All that time assuming nothing was seriously wrong — and here we are. Them's the brakes — or in this case, the break. 😄

Through all of it, I am grateful, happy, and joyful in all the ways God is providing and is going to use this for good in my life.

Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

I'm happy to report that many parts of the right side of my body are starting to feel better after my epic wipeout last Friday! However, my right arm continues to hang around and cause shooting pain if I move it the wrong way.

I did see the doctor yesterday and he sent me off for x-rays — and I use the plural because by the time all the parts of my arm got x-rayed, it was somewhere between 7 and 9 different angles they wanted to look at! As I write this — and by "write" I mean "dictate to the microphone on my computer," because while I can use the mouse pretty well, I can only type with my left hand, so speaking is a lot easier — I'm still waiting to hear back the results.

A big shout out to Grandma Cybersalt, who has not only been taking great care of me, but also made such a sling for my right arm that the doctor specifically commented on it and told me to make sure to tell her she had done an awesome job!
