X-rays show the bone shaft has dropped into alignment with the head. It’s not perfect — will still be some impairment in my overhead reach — but is at the point where the complications from surgery, including scarring, are likely to outweigh the benefits of a perfectly straight bone.
So I’m starting physical therapy soon to restore as much range of motion as possible. Some paperwork hoops to jump through with referrals and finding a therapist, but that should keep me busy for a few weeks.
I was able to get in a couple of hours of work on Troy and Sal’s novel this week. The pain is way down and hopefully as I need less medication, I’ll be able to focus more.
Thanks to everybody for all their warm thoughts and support!
Hooray for better alignment! Hope the physical therapy helps.
And extra cheers for work on Troy and Sal! That’s great.
Hang in there, Bonnie.
Oh, that’s good news. Hope the bone slips the rest of the way through therapy.
I’m glad for the no-surgery option. *hugs*
