Second week after surgery
March 22nd -- March 29th I continued to sleep well without pain and got more comfortable removing the arm from the sling for a bit. On March 22 nd I took my first shower alone! I felt comfortable enough to let my arm hang for the duration of taking a shower. I got some waterproof plasters from a drug store to make sure that the wound would stay dry. After the shower I felt reborn and it was great to see that I was making progress. I continued to remove the arm for 1-2 hours every day while laying on the sofa and I kept on moving my elbow as well. I am scheduled to get stitches removed on Thursday, March 29 th which is exactly two weeks after surgery. I will also start physiotherapy on the same day and I am really looking forward to that! So far, I am extremely happy with how things have turned out and I’m still surprised that I was never really in pain.
