I feel like good things come out of bad situations if you're open to finding them.
Yes, it does hurt if I move any which way. I just have got to keep my elbow next to my side and not reach up, and it's not too bad.

Patty, your X followed you to Colorado? WTF? Does he want to keep an eye on your or something?
I hope you feel better every hour,and glad you are cutting back on the pain pills.

Asking about icing again, Patricia. What were the instructions? I had a shoulder wrap attached to a cooler. Had to be refilled with ice. It really did help me stay comfortable. That arm looks so uncomfortable....
I get not wanting to stay at your son's house, but be very careful trying to do stuff by yourself. It's not easy. You don't want to undo any of the repair.

Is Ricky going to come and give you some TLC? Or is he not the caregiving type? Some men are not.

^ I was allowed to take off the bandage after 3 days so I just did. Doesn't look too bad even though I know it's going to be a big long scar. Seems like everybody I know has big long scars from knee replacements or something else anyway.

Good news to go with an ugly pic. Sounds like you are doing all the right stuff and are on the mend. Good news, indeed.
