Made it to week 22!

Writing again to give an update! This time I have pictures! Once again, everyday I’m just trying to get back into the groove of things.

This is actually a super late week 22 post. But still wanted to give an update on this week because of my x-ray appointment.

All in all, the doc had said my healing has progressed really well since the last x-ray, however she said if she had to be really picky and nitty gritty about something, it would be that on one side, she still sees a small line gap between my break where she hoped she would see more callus form. The picture attached you may/may not be able to see the gap, but I understand what she means. I do worry slightly…because in the x-ray, the middle part of where the biggest gap is, is not as opaque as the rest…and I become weary because it doesn’t matter if the sides are strong..if the middle/foundation is not strong, the side will eventually give way. But I don’t really feel that way when I currently use my arm…just feels like my arm again.

My family is still pretty cautious of me holding groceries and other things too. Not sure if I’ve mentioned already how I feel, but my arm just feels ‘weak’…and tired…like something that is not too heavy for my right arm, would actually feel heavy for my left arm and it would get tired easier, but I don’t feel any pain.

She wanted me to come back in 3 months — and hopefully THAT will be my last appointment.

Otherwise, I’m actually writing this in week….26! I’ve actually stopped doing my physio at home…maybe partly due to my laziness, heh. I attended and helped out at a wedding over the past weekend, and while we were cleaning up, I helped stacked these non-foldable chairs that made me work, and I was so tired and sweaty by the end of it….so I will just say that made up for it. It was more tiring that I wanted to be, but my arm made it through!

Anywho, not much more to update. I just feel really blessed and thankful that I’ve come this far in my journey. The days of not even being able to lift my arm over my keyboard will never be forgotten…nor when I had to wear one-sleeved shirts in public or being super careful putting on clothes. Those days seem like a long time ago, and I think it is definitely easy to take for granted because it is such a common everyday thing. Just happy to be in one piece again.

Until…..3 months!

Front side: week 16 vs week 22 — There’s still a “hole” -.-
Week 16 vs. Week 22 — The “line gap” on the right side
