Waiting out game
This is the end of week 12 after the fall, and my patience is severely tested. Doc says there is a union and bone has formed at the break. However, to my untrained eye, I see hardly any progress from the X-rays.
My chagrin has also been directed now to my left fore-arm which seems to have developed its own problems. Last week, when I tried unwittingly to retrieve my handphone from my left trouser pocket, I was quickly dealt a sharp pain somewhere near the triceps. When told this, doc did not have much to say. Also, I’m not able to open doors with my left. At the end of the inspection, he arranged for me to go for physiotherapy which I did a couple of days ago. Wendy was quite helpful in teaching me some basic moves and stretching exercises to get my left arm into working order. Well, it looks like an uphill climb, despite her gentle but firm feminine approach.
