make sure you do those simple motion exercises though, Dean.
not to preach to much, but you get a clot and you'll be a really unhappy camper.... or fertilizer for the daisies with long roots.

 

^^ I have peripheral neuropathy that affects my hands. I have much less discomfort and can use my hands with less pain and more ease if I sleep in my braces every night. Sometimes I forget to put them on and wake up with swollen painful hands.

 

Sux doesn't even begin to describe it.

 

Yes sir. The doctor has got me on aspirin and has also got me wearing a very attractive, white support hose thing that's supposed to help prevent clots.

Martha finally managed to track down a wheelchair for me last night, so I'm working on my Raymond Burr impression and hope to be hitting the street soon.

 

Ken, did you get surgery for that? How did it go?

 

Hey Dean - Wear a kilt. Should go well with the hose.

 

Had a doctor visit all is progressing well. He was not concerned with the slow progress in movement, he feels I'll get the range of motion back. I was able to lose the bulky pillow under the sling. I drove myself to work today and feel like a new independent person.

More PT coming my way, over the door pulleys for passive exercise and continue with the sling, but wean off over the next two weeks.

The other arm being sore is normal and I could have some issues there, but hopefully, it will settle down once I can use the right arm again.

 

Good news, Lain. Thanks for that report. You know how some folks worry. Glad about that feeling independent again part too .

 

Now you get to drive Ms. Lainey. <-----I did that for real.

 

Thanks Granny and Patty. And Patty not too many until you get the "all clear".
