Surgery Today

I am nowhere near flexible enough to lick my elbow, so I could never attempt this challenge. Bella, on the other hand, has this down.

Surgery is scheduled for this afternoon. It seems relatively routine and I don't expect a long recovery time. 

The doctor will be replacing the shattered part of the radius bone with a "T" shaped piece of titanium. I said it looks like the pull start of a lawn mower. Someone else has suggested it looks like a wine stopper. I love that description!

I will have a splint for another week and then it is time for Physical Therapy. I have been encouraged by others stating a month in they had the full range of motion in their arm and they were good to go.

The single worst part of the day is no coffee.

I will take any and all love you've got after 1pm today - just keep it coming.

Good luck, Mags! Heal in your own time. There is no firm timetable for getting better. Hank has titanium in his arm. All the best people do!
Love, love, love!!!
