Greetings to all and a belated Happy New Year!
I want to thank everyone for the great support that I have received from members of the SOB community as I recovered from my accident. Whether it was with meals (What a talented bunch of chefs we have among us!) or with transportation for medical appointments/shopping, a SOB member was always there to help me and provide me with the necessary assistance. I have also greatly enjoyed the conversation during the many visits that I received. I have no doubt that my recovery to date is due in part to the help provided to me by members of the SOB community.
It has now been 5 weeks since my final surgery. My recovery has progressed better than I expected it would given the severity of my injury. I am no longer receiving Home Healthcare. I no longer where a cast or a sling and, with the help of physical therapy, the range of motion of my left arm is slowly improving although I am still prohibited from bearing any weight on my left arm. X-rays show that, with the help of 5 plates (One of which was custom made!), my radius and ulna bones remain properly aligned. In fact, the X-rays look a bit like two chain stays! Also, my skin graft is healing nicely and I am finally able to take a shower without bagging any parts of my body. What a relief!
The timetable for my recovery remains uncertain at this point in time. It is very much a week-by-week program for me at this stage of my recovery.
Finally, my bike awaits me in my indoor trainer! I hope that soon I will be able to get back in the saddle!
