TY everyone...(even PF after I get done slappin the snot outta him)!

Just got back and I'm in a full (green) arm cast...*YIKES*

Doc said I have a really, really, really bad fracture in a good place. Said I'll need the cast on for 3 weeks and therapy thereafter. I'll lose some range of motion forever but if it had of been just slightly lower (closer to the elbow joint) I might never move my arm again.

The fracture is in my inside upper arm (can't spell or pronounce his medical jargon) just at the bend of the elbow and it was disjointed till I took it upon myself to relocate it. I didn't damage anything doing that and doc said I set it up nice enough that he just had to cast it...no adjustments/surgery necessary!

Waaaaaaaaaaa! I know there are folks out there worse off than me but it's August and I have a pool and we're in the middle of decking it out. Waaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Oh well...could have been much worse according to doc! I'll consider myself lucky and hope for a good outcome and eat percs and fill my script for a cover so I can shower and stand in the pool. All is not lost...YET!
