week 1

The 1st night with a broken arm.

I came back home around 3am from the emerge in downtown and I was pooped. I was told I couldn’t sleep flat, only semi reclined, so I used some pillows to prop myself up in the bed. It was pretty uncomfortable…hence I only got 2–3 hours of sleep. I was awake…

week 2

I already tried to prepare myself to not expect a miraculous progress on my recovery (lol, at week 2), but it’s still hard not to hope for the best. I went for my next appointment — this time a different doctor was following up with me.

week 3

Entering into week 3, no appointment…was left on my own to kind of discover what my limits were… I let pain be my guide.

I was super stoked early in the week when I was able move my arm as a unit! Previously when I spoke of the “wiggle”, I could literally feel my bone wiggling where it’s…

week 6

Throughout this week, things have been more or less improving little by little. I’m able to now sit normally on my chair and type on my laptop. Still can’t lift my wrist off the laptop yet, but improvement from before.

week 13–15

So much has happened these past few weeks! I just came back from another fracture appointment and I’m just super thrilled about my recovery. Praise the Lord!!

I’ve been a lot more active over these past four weeks. Just little by little improving day after day and not even noticing…

The Fall and Break

I wanted to record my journey just like many others who have shared their stories online about their humerus fracture recovery. I decided to write one myself as a way to share my story to those confused/worried and frustrated souls (Like I was…and still am), and hopefully to keep me motivated…

week 38

Longtime no blog! At lastttt, I am at week 38….roughly THREE months from my last fracture appointment and due for an update on this blog. I’ve…

week 10&11

Wow! I’m passed the big ONE-ZERO! Can’t believe it’s been 2.5 months since my injury…I’ve come a long way! I’ve combined the last two weeks because there wasn’t anything major to update. My skin reaction is doing better everyday— the pigmentation has gotten lighter, so I’m confident with time it’ll go away…

week 8

Suffered a set back at the end of the week 7 that I will continue here leading into my week 8. My arm unfortunately reacted to the CM medicine and became super itchy on Sunday morning. I didn’t think much at first, but later it just became more and more itchy. During that time I was at church and couldn’t itch it…

week 4

Sooo, I’m almost at my 1 month mark since the day of my injury. Who knew I’d be in this state.
