Fracture

I have not been able to blog for the past months. In late August, I fractured my left elbow. It had to be in a cast for a month. There were so many complications, and I saw a total of three doctors. Quite sad for such a simple thing. Anyway, I tried very hard to look at the bright side, which is that I am alive. Had I hit my head instead, things would have been way worse.

The down side was that I grew tired easily, and typing was a chore. When the cast was finally taken off, I had to undergo therapy. Fortunately, my niece Peach is an Occupational Therapist and she has a PT friend who did house calls three times a week. Thanks to her and to my religious self-therapy (I did additional sessions on my own so that I had therapy three times daily), I regained movement of my arm and fingers. For quite a time they were frozen, as in I could not turn my arm.  I am still in pain and the pain has transferred to my shoulder, but I take it all one day at a time. 

The good thing is that despite the pain and the discomfort of typing, I finished the first draft of a major project! 

I will complete my cruise posts and hopefully continue writing on a regular basis.
