typing one fingered, so bear with.

i had elbow surgery friday. i've had stitches before, and i've had a cast before, but not at the same time, lol (two well-spaced-apart injuries).

are these suckers supposed to HURT? my elbow hurts at the joint, while the surgery was done down the side of my arm starting at the elbow. not only does it all hurt, but can casts expand? i've been bagging it with a tall kitchen garbage bag so i can wash my hair one-handed (VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY frustrating!), and i've taken care not to get it wet, but it feels a lot tighter farther on up my arm.

i go in for a followup tomorrow and hope he wants to see the stitches so he'll cut the stupid thing off and give me something lighter. i guess i've just been lucky up to now that i haven't had that many significant physical traumas, so i don't know what to expect!

thanks!
