It’s been two weeks since I went under the knife, one week since Diane left and one week since I went back to work. However, it has been three glorious days since my mummy wrap has been removed! My arm was immobilized post-op in a soft cast and wrapped with multiple bandages that stemmed from my finger tips and ran all the way to my armpit. Did I mention the high temps have also been hanging around the century mark! There were a few days last week I came home from work and collapsed on the couch from a combination of exhaustion and near heat stroke.
That said, I am so glad I had the operation! My arm was bent at a 90° angle for two weeks and I experienced zero numbness! I still have several months of recovery – healing and regaining my full range of mobility, but for now, I’m pleased my arm is no longer in wrapped like a mummy and I do not need to shower with a garbage bag!
A big shout out of gratitude to my wonderful mother-in-law, Diane, who flew out to help care for Logan for a week whilst I recouped from my surgery!
I did promise pictures, so if you’re squeamish stop reading now. If you’re curious, scroll down!
