Reply to "A little update"

1 month + post move and I am still staring at boxes. 2 broken forearms/elbows that just won't heal...maybe because I am not wearing casts but doing the work...massage, ice, anti-inflammatories, pain meds...the works...but I cannot bend either elbow completely or straighten out my arms flat...off for a scan this Sat...Something is very wrong...

So my career as a house mover is really over.

My pouch is getting used to the new bathroom, it isn't perfect but it functions...just not so well with 2 gimpy arms. 

Intubation is still a nightmare, not able to push or pull out the plunger and plugging the sink (it is a push-down sink plug and hard on my arms) but I get by.

I am not ready to give in but things are really rough...time, I know, time heals all wounds but couldn't us pouchers get a break?

For now, I pray for the pain to go away and the range of movement to come back into my arms...my pouch depends on it.
