Week four and I fought with my Doctor. He changed the timeline on my brace release - he wanted to keep it on for two additional weeks. I said this is impeding my independence and making life difficult so I want it off when he initially said I could, i.e. two weeks. He begrudgingly said okay. I don’t know I guess the surgery was a positive thing but it really has taken me out of my routine. I’m also concerned the dent it’s putting in what’s left of my life - I’m 63 and don’t want to take a whole bunch of time recovering from surgeries - just no fun and the timescale ain’t what it used to be. Even when I get the brace off I still got to get my arm back into some kind of shape - probably another two months. What makes it bad is my support network - it ain’t there. So that gives me more time to build anxiety about this situation. Bottom line - I’m still chugging along but boy nothing has made me change my thinking about life’s crappy pitfalls and lack of compassion - peace

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
