Update: Shoulder Not Quite As Broken
Nov. 18th, 2015 01:30 pmFigured I should give a progress report...
Seven weeks since falling down the stairs and breaking my humerus bone at the shoulder, the orthopedic surgeon confirms it is firmly attached in place. A small retroversion of the humeral head remains, but since I'm young I should regain full enough range of motion as to make no difference. It'll still take up to a year to properly remodel new bone growth, but the bone itself is stable.
Unless I have another klutz attack and fall again, of course. But I promise I am trying very hard to avoid that!
( My physiotherapist is like the Energizer Bunny, but my batteries are obviously not Duracell... )
Next challenge, putting my arm through a sleeve! Tank tops and fleece vests have got me through autumn, but there's snow on the ground now. Time to figure how to wear real clothes again. Progress!
