1. Left handed typing skills improving!!


2. We took off the splint Wednesday night so that I could get a shower. I'll spare you the picture of my elbow, but let's just say it was a lot of very unpretty colors. I was able to move it a little bit before putting the splint back on.


3. Yesterday I went back to work. I recruited students to help me carry stuff to and from my office and classrooms. The students were sympathetic. All I really wanted to tell them was that my hair usually looks much nicer! My last class of the day was more interested in asking questions about my arm than about the syllabus. I only took meds in the morning; the only pain I experienced during the day was in my upper back. I didn't realize how heavy my arm is in the sling.


4. Last night we took the splint off again. The colors were a little less horrifying. My elbow extending about a 1/4 down my forearm and 1/4 up my bicep is still very puffy and swollen. I was able to straighten my arm about 85%. Yay!


5. Today I had to go to the dentist for a couple tiny fillings. That was all good. The thing that annoyed me was everyone I walked by as I walked to the dentist (about a 12 minute walk) staring at me. I wanted to yell "yeah, I got a bum arm! Stop staring!!" I actually walked by three very dirty looking dudes, one of whom actually said "hey, look at that chick" to his buddies.


6. Not being able to knit is driving me crazy. It is making me less interested in Ravelry as well, which takes away a huge time killer. I just might have enough coordination to try making these.


Time to figure out what I can eat for lunch...
