Today was an adventurous day~Maybe I should back up to yesterday and my trip to the Ortho Dr. THANKFULLY, he told me I could take off my immobilizer that I have had to wear for over 8 weeks. The only problem is that I still have virtually NO range of motion in my left carm. The Dr. told me that I would probably never be able to raise my arm to a full extension but if I could ultimately arrive at 90 degrees he would be happy. He also wrote an order for me to begin therapy....so I have a therapy appt on Monday...YEAH..that should be interesting.
Any way, back to today, it was adventurous because I actually got in the car and drove myself to the store. I've not driven since my accident (March 18). I still had to close the door by reaching over with my right arm, and my left hand wouldn't reach up to the steering wheel, but I'm sure it will get better.
I also had a nice afternoon at the highschool where a friend of mine is a teacher. She hosted a partylite drop in for me and it wasn't anything overwhelming - but it was still a nice way to hang out on a Thursday afternoon.
I will write more tomorrow---for now its pillow time.
