lets get physical! (therapy)

Today was my first day of physical therapy.. ooooh the excitement. It actually was pretty cool. I progressed a lot in the first session and my therapist was impressed.... ( what can I say :) ) I also see that I have A lot of work to do on my own.. and I am not all that excited for stretching the crap out of my arm everyday 2x a day... But I am excited about being able to touch my hair and put eyeliner on and flex my arm all the way, so I'll do what I must. wish me luck world..!
On another note... Surgery is expensive my new metal plate would have cost upwards of $25K without insurance... Hurry up Lawmakers get your act together.. not everyone is as lucky as me....

a New List ... cast perks

Ok so here is a partial list of the semi-perks of living in broken arm-ville

1. Most of my home work deadlines got extended
2. catching up on TV/Movies
3. Spending less money
4. no work...
5. lowered expectations LOL
Im sure ill think of more ....

You weren't wondering buuut

Casts are unsolicited high five magnets. My cast also has the power to make me 'hardcore'.... I may miss this thing.... nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

day 13... as i hen peck away

I broke my arm on Halloween. during the day .... not under the influence thankyouverymuch.
I had surgery on my elbow on Monday the 9th. Because when I do something like.... i dunno... break an arm..... I do it all the way... so why get a little girl fracture when I can destroy my elbow to the point of surgical intervention.
while simple tasks have been a challenge.. I am super lucky to have the boy taking care of me for the better part of these 2 weeks...
a gal could only wish to have an extra set of arms around half as good as the ones I got...
enough mushy stuff....
lets look at pictures

my brace... useless I had this post er cast and pre surgery.. It sucked



after surgery ... arm was completely numb for like 20 hours.... creepers
