This week took a bit of a turn, Computer interaction has been harder then normal. My left arm and hand are mostly useless right now. My schedule has been off, and it takes a lot longer to do things. Shannon is being extraordinarily helpful as I get used to this temporary condition.

My lower arm is broken in two places near the elbow. I have scraping along my belly, bruised knees and a broken toenail. After an Emergency Department visit on Wednesday, and a consult with an orthopedic surgeon specialist on Friday, I have a conveniently regularly scheduled primary care provider appointment on Monday, and a cardiologist appointment, Tuesday leading into surgery on Thursday.

Overall the experience has been painful, but interesting. After hearing of a friends own arm break I may got of easy, pain wise. There was a period of pain and shock, but after I got my arm into a comfortable place it wasn’t to bad. I had to move it for x-rays (showed large break and indicated small break) and a CT scan (showed shattered part of small break). and when they put a partial cast on. and, at least for the cast, I was on some heavy pain killers.

For a lot of things, it just takes longer. For some, minor adjustments, and things are ok. For some others, I haven’t figured it out yet (bread bags, zip bags, cutting with one hand, etc). For work typing takes quite an extra amount of time. I’ve had it been suggested to use voice to text, which I’ll try Monday.

Sausage

A quick dinner before we ran off to see Happily at the Varsity, The movie was darkly enjoyable.

Chicken Salad

I used leftover pulled chicken, that I ended up not using on a salad, and made a nice chicken salad. A good easy Sunday meal,
