Another Week in Recovery

So most of these pictures were taken around the house. I have been staying in mostly. Being out of work is really taking its financial toll, so I am trying my best to keep my costs down until I go back to work. I'm actually starting back next Tuesday. I am getting a little nervous about my return. Monday, when I decided that I'd definitely go back next week, I had made leaps and bounds in physical therapy. Today I woke up in a lot of pain, my wrist swelled up again, and my wrist movement went back to being awful. I guess I pushed it a little too hard the last few days and so I have taken a few steps backwards in recovery. It's beyond frustrating. I try to stay positive, but days like today make it hard.

Anyway, enjoy some photos of another week on the 'road to recovery' with me:

More updates

So I'm still working on the story of my arm... it's becoming a real little essay. I haven't written an essay in a very long time, so I'm working hard to write something nice. It's hard though, because my arm gets tired typing for long periods of time, I have trouble writing with a pen or pencil do to lost strength and mobility in my thumb, and using my left hand is tiring and messy. Eventually, I'll get it up here.

In the meantime I'll keep you entertained with photos.

Remember that time I broke my arm... The Pictures.

So an update... Finally. I've decided to write a narrative of my broken arm. It will be good for several reasons. It will serve as documentation. It will be informative. And it will be a bit therapeutic to write it all down and get it out there. I've been working on the story for a day now, but I don't want to hold up the photo portion with the story, too, so I'm posting pictures. I'll try to get some new pictures up today or tomorrow and post the story by the end of the week. The story is proving to be rather long so that will be it's own entry.

For now, enjoy the pictures and their descriptions (after the break)

Update!

So I have finally uploaded some more photos... this whole arm business has been a big nuisance. I meant to get these up sooner with all my time off, but using the computer with one left hand gets really, really, really frustrating really, really fast. Actually, everything gets frustrating when you have one left hand and you're a righty.

That being said I'll write a real blog entry tomorrow with explanations for all the pictures (I clearly didn't take them all myself as I am the subject of some of them). I know some people get unnerved when I post pictures of myself, but for the sake of documenting my journey through this broken arm nonsense I have chosen to post them. Anyway, you can look at the photos HERE and, like I said, I'll write a real blog entry with the pictures in the blog this weekend.

Programming

I fractured my forearm and had to have surgery this week, and of course it's my right hand so I'm a little handicapped right now... I'm going to try and get christmas stuff up next week, but there will definitely be some delays in posts for a while.
