Wednesday, September 24, 2014. Spiral Fracture of Humerus - Week 11. I've worked out a lawn mowing method since I still can't hold the mower with my left hand while pulling the starter. I put a clamp on the throttle and then pull the starter. The mower moves since I can't hold it in place with my bad arm but I get it started after a couple tugs. Thankfully it's self propelled so I can maneuver it with one arm. Monday, September 15, 2014. Spiral Fracture of Humerus - Week 10. My hand is pretty much all be...

Tuesday, August 26, 2014. Spiral Fracture of Humerus - Week 7. What a difference a week makes. Well. not really. I've mustered up the courage to move my arm and have done away with the sling. I sleep most of the night on my good side and don't wake up nearly as much as I used to. I may be moving back to bed with the wife. I'm also typing this with two hands although I have to put my keyboard in my lap. I still can't do things with my arm like prepare elaborate dinners and such but I've gotten so used to ...

Graham Makes Blog: Spiral Fracture of Humerus - Week 13

Monday, October 13, 2014. Spiral Fracture of Humerus - Week 13. Little by little I'm returning to normalcy. As far as range of motion I'm still working on my three trouble areas which are extending and bending my arm at the elbow and getting my shoulder moving correctly again. I think the combination of physical therapy with a therapist and my own efforts at home are going well. So here we are, stretching constantly and taking ibuprofen from time to time.

Wednesday, October 23, 2013. Call me, Dad. I feel like a bit of a heel doing this while working (my team is taking a break so I am too) and knowing that Jill is upstairs tending to the needs of our one month old. I'll likely get my comeuppance this evening when it's my turn to take care of him. All that being said, I wouldn't trade it for anything. As time rolls on we'll get back to many of our old activities since he's not going to be a newborn forever. Sometimes it feels that way though. Wh...

Tuesday, October 28, 2014. Spiral Fracture of Humerus - Week 15. I finally got the green light to abandon the brace. This is especially good because my arm was getting too big for it. I slept incredibly well last night save for the sick baby that kept waking up. I've been making steady progress with physical therapy but steady also means slow. The shoulder has done better than the elbow for the most part probably because there wasn't as much damage except lack of use. Tuesday, October 14, 2014. My should...

Graham Makes Blog: June 2014

Friday, June 27, 2014. It's been three very long weeks since they fixed my arm but I still have at least three weeks. The doctor said six to eight weeks but I'm confident I'll be in pretty good shape by week six. Pain is minimal and more in my forearm when I twists my wrist wrong. I have to be careful when washing my hands because lefty still doesn't work very well. I've also gone back to wearing my compression sleeve. The swelling had gone down and I was getting a few degrees of motion every day but...

Tuesday, June 25, 2013. Battle Royale III: Return of the Battle. Since I didn't do the math at the beginning we're left with three finalists. Here goes. I originally thought it would be a good idea to just disqualify J&M because nobody knows who they are or what they look like. For all we knew they could be a two headed demon and if that were the case then they absolutely deserve to be in this competition. Jacoby and Meyers vs Larry H. Parker vs Federated.

Tuesday, July 29, 2014. Spiral Fracture of Humerus - Week 3. Nothing new treatment wise. I've got one more week in this cast before I'll have anything new to report. Thursday, July 24, 2014. Things suck for me these days. My job sucks and I've been nursing an arm back to health for almost two months now. My neighbors suck to the point of where any weekend they're home is a ruined weekend. I manage to not blow my brains out by looking at my wife and son and going to my happy place. Jill gets to sleep in.
