ZOINKS!

Teddy...ain't NOTHING funny about hitting the "funny bone". But my fracture wasn't even near that. It's in the upper part of the arm just as it meets the elbow, but more towards the back than on the side...if that makes sense. And no...I don't feel like a nerve is pinched. Just that I never felt natural in the cast unless I lifted it to the position they had me hold it in when they put the cast on. One can't go around with a casted arm lifted to chest level and turned a slight bit outward for 3 weeks. LOL! Oh...and I must have swelled and calmed throughout because it didn't bother me so much in the morning, but as the day went by and conditions changed (ie: humidity, cold due to weather or AC, housework...etc.) I felt a little discomfort to extreme discomfort.

I'm doing the ibuprofen, ice and elevation. I'm taking great care not to overextend my arm...as much as I want it to straighten. I'm letting gravity guide me and I'm actually scared that at some point my elbow might pop out of place for as much as I am trying not to control it. The muscles in that arm are flabby and weak...as to be expected but surprising to look at none the less.

I guess what I'm saying is...This kind of thing has never happened to me and I'm freaking because I like to have knowledge in order to "make things right". OK...I might be a bit of a control freak and I feel out of control right now!!!!

OF...I understand and I'll let ya know what the doc says as soon as I call him!
