Easter Weekend- 4 1/2 weeks of recovery

Feeling much much better everyday now. The swelling is completely gone and I have just a bit of yellow bruising left. With the swelling down you can really see the bones and fragments sticking up through my skin. It’s not a pretty sight. I was trying on a couple shirts last night to find something to wear to a concert and spaghetti straps and tank aren’t exactly flattering with bones poking up. I hope the Dr was right when he said that is an easy problem to correct down the road. I have to wait until the bones completely heal and than they can go in and shave down the bumps. Unfortunately I don’t think that will happen before summer season. We went to the Mighty Texas dog walk today. I brought a pack to carry all the free goodies they vendors give out. I quickly learned I am not ready to wear a pack again. I will have to start investigating larger fanny packs that only go around your waist because I won’t be wearing a pack on my shoulder for awhile. I worked out four times this weekend. Nothing super challenging but I felt really good to sweat again. Amazing that as light as I went with my work out with the weights I still feel the soreness.  It has also made me a bit tired again and sleeping is probably the most uncomfortable thing. I can only sleep on my back most of the night and on my right side a little but only in the correct angle so my shoulder doesn’t fall forward. I can’t wait to roll over on to my left side!

My Dr appt is on Monday and I am anxious to find out how the bones are healing. I am really to step it up if the Dr gives me the green light. Pray for good news to come.
