Not sure if any of you remember me. I haven't visited for quite a while.
In April, I fell and fractured and displaced a bone in my elbow, which required surgery to pin it all back together. I have only just finished physio, and at the moment, I still cannot straighten my arm to full extent but have been told it could take up to a year to heal and even then, not 100%.
Anyway, whatever happens I will take whatever I can get.......I am still doing exercises and although things don't happen all the time, they are happening slowly but surely. At the beginning, I was unable to dress myself (you do not realise when you lose the use of one arm, what you cannot do) so hubby had to take over, even toilet duties which was impossible for me at that time(he must really love me to be able to do that!!)
Anyway, I hope you do remember me and I hope to be here a bit more in the future.
