Mental Health Support

In my case, I fell and fractured the head of my right humerus and had to have it surgically repaired. My arm was immobilized for a total of ten weeks and, now that I’m four months post-op, and well into physical therapy, my range of motion isn’t coming back as they had hoped.

My therapist asked me the same questions. I told her everything I liked to do, even if I hadn’t done it in ten years, thinking it would give me a better chance of healing. At this point, I can do maybe 75% of the things I like to do and need to do to function. The remaining 25% are iffy. I see the doc next week to plot out what the next steps will be.

I so understand feeling like a shell of a human. Lying on the couch, unable to do my favorite things (except read), having my husband have to do EVERYTHING, even help me dress and shower and, worst of all, not sleeping more than three or four hours a night damn near put me over the edge. But I got through it, and so will you. PM me if you need support. This is so fresh for me, my incision is barely healed.
