Scarred for life

So far my arm has been doing good. It's feeling better, and I am haven't taken any Lortab for over a week. I still wake up 5-10 times a night to move and place my arm in a good position, but I am used it by now. My bandage and wrap seem to keep sliding off my arm down to my wrist, so I re-wrapped the bandage. I was then able to finally see the damage to my elbow. It looks pretty bad, but it was complete open during the surgery. My elbow is complete numb, which the doctor said would happen. At first I was confused, but then I remember the doctor meeting with me and placing a "yes" on my arm. It is to make sure they do the right arm. Looks kind of funny with all the bruising and the taped scar. It really isn't as bad as it looks. It seems I need to rewrap it daily now because the swelling is going down and the bandage was made right after the surgery.

Tuesday I get the bandage off, and finally get to take a shower without a trash bag wrapped around my arm. That should be nice. I also get to play single dad this week because Kaz is off to Phoenix for her job. It's going to be an interesting week.
