Well, it's about time I wrote about my arm again. I haven't had time as of late to keep everyone updated, but I thought I'd do it now.



I have one more week in which I MUST wear a brace to work and at night. After next Friday the brace comes off and I will continue to stretch my tendons and muscles as I would like to regain my flexibility as much as possible. Being it my right arm and me being right-handed, the more I regain the better I can perform my tasks of olde. :)



I've been told that I cannot lift any weight with that arm until June. I must've heard it wrong, because I thought I could be able to start lifting small weights once my brace came off. Oh well. Guess I will have to wait, doc's orders.



So for now I will sit with a heating pad on my elbow to help loosen the muscle so I can stretch it out and twist it. Mainly twisting, because that's where the most noticeable movement deficit is. If I don't get that movement back, then I'll end up like my dad who couldn't bring a fork or spoon to his mouth properly. I'd hate to have that happen to me. :) Although the old adage 'Like father, like son' may seem fitting, in this case I'd consider it a curse. lol



Anyhow, I am making good progress and just have to endure the remaining physical therapy until June.
