Got permission from PT to ditch the brace today. And the compression sleeve. Although, she did recommend wearing it out when I’m going to a crowded setting, just as a precaution so people don’t start hanging on my arm. Because that happens all the time- people randomly start swinging from my arms like their a vine.
Still got a wad of scar tissue under the incision in the crook of my elbow. I’ll be curious what the Doctor has to say about it at my follow-up next week.
I figure now I’ll be hitting the steep part of the recovery curve. Using it semi-normally plus the exercises I’ve got will, hopefully, result in some significant reversion back to what was the norm for me.
Just in time for the holidays as well. I know Santa will need some help lifting that sack of his…
