Therapy for the week update · 10:49pm Jun 28th, 2018
Last update, this week. Completed my last day of therapy for the week.
More good news, bad news.
My arm is healing nicely, but not fast enough to clear me to work. Next week is for certain, but the range of motion is still too limited in the doc's opinion. Another week of sleeping on an ice pack, yay.
That's the good news.
Bad news is the C-5 and C-6 joint capsule is healing wrong, or badly. Doc's concerned, because it's seemingly fusing to the bone. Could be joint ossification, could just be it's healing in a bad position. I'm on antiobiotics, now, to try and mitigate it, and I need to roll my neck a few times an hour to encourage flexibility.
If that helps, yay. If not...I need to prepare myself for the ossification, and pray it's a 'this injury only' event in the best case.
In the worst case...I'm not sure there's anything anyone can do. Ossification is...horrifying. Do yourself a favor and don't google it, seriously.
Help spread the word!
