annathepiperThree weeks since the breakage today. I have been having a fair amount of low-level muscular tiredness in my arm, though at the same time it seems to be easier to move it around; it's been easier for example to get out of bed smoothly, without having to worry about moving too quickly lest I jar my arm.
I've been really tired, though, thanks to the new job. I get up at 7:30 now, which requires me to go to bed by 11 if I want a shot at a full night's sleep. And there isn't much time to just take it easy once I get home because all the various little daily chores like bills and such still need to get done, except now they take longer.
Plus I haven't slept a good full night's sleep since this stupid break occurred, between general discomfort and stress about everything ELSE that's going on. I crave the weekend now, and the opportunity to nap heavily. I also crave a diet Mountain Dew, my guitar and my bouzouki, and to get this stupid brace and sling off because my shoulders and back are sore from the pressure of the straps and from my left side having to do everything. I want to take a proper bath, one that lets me soak all of myself in the water. I want to be able to wear my ACTUAL shirts, and I want to stretch my right arm out something fierce.
Tomorrow, appointments. We'll see if I get that splint to make my right hand more usable now, and whether I will in fact be downgraded to the fracture brace.
