Have limited finger movement yet, but am using the left hand gently to help type this so that is progress already! I didn't think I had a high pain threshold- but maybe I was in shock... <br />Simon, they use a saw here as well, but it works magically, without cutting the skin... The Dr was very pleased with my X-rays... bone seems to have joined up well.Kiwi Nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13351034705766073667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12493055.post-70443728032195926142010-08-27T11:03:40.113+12:002010-08-27T11:03:40.113+12:00good luck with the cast removal- it feels funny ...good luck with the cast removal- it feels funny when removed and here they use a saw!<br /><br />Sadly somehow I have breaks in the bone tat will never heal for some reason, probably from older injuries on motor bikessimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17329985554257923069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12493055.post-27599920864925764162010-08-27T09:25:28.337+12:002010-08-27T09:25:28.337+12:00Bet ya can't wait to scratch, scrub and massag...Bet ya can't wait to scratch, scrub and massage the skin on your arm!! Happy to hear your so close to "well"!! Funny, women usually do have higher pain thresholds...and get ignored 'cause of it! Be Well!

I don't think the medics would like to read the pain rating bit- but since it seemed I initially had high pain tolerance- maybe just through adrenalin- I think 'another time' I would rate it at 6 or 7 out of 10 so at least initially they triaged that it might be broken not just bruised!!Kiwi Nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13351034705766073667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12493055.post-89522405648467134702010-08-26T13:32:45.626+12:002010-08-26T13:32:45.626+12:00Hope the cast gets kicked to the kerb tomorrow for...Hope the cast gets kicked to the kerb tomorrow for you!<br />Love the list, ye, you should publish it for future patients ;)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02851305238478213940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12493055.post-85772335118357638902010-08-26T13:19:07.983+12:002010-08-26T13:19:07.983+12:00Margaret - you could publish this as a patient inf...Margaret - you could publish this as a patient information brochure!<br /><br />Hope things go well tomorrow!<br /><br />Happy healing and rehabing that arm -Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05894446967094882991noreply@blogger.com
