I got a new cast on today. Thank God it's off my elbow! My elbow is real sore and it must be because of that other cast. Feels so good to put my arm down straight again. They x-rayed my wrist. The doctor said the bone is a little off. He didn't like that but said it wasn't enough to have surgery. I told him I wouldn't have surgery anyway. My thumb is bruised too from the cast poking into it the past three weeks. It seems to be off a little. Not sure why. This new cast is going to bug me a bit too around the thumb area. It's swollen around the base. That elbow is swollen and bruised too. My arm looked a mess. I washed it off with alcohol the best I could before they put the new cast on. My wrist was sore and I couldn't move it or it would hurt. I realized that it needed a lot more time to heal. I sure hope it does enough to put some weight on it again.
Seemed good to get out in the sun for a change. I had the guy who took me take me over to Abuchon hardware when we got back to get my critter food. I was real careful walking with only my one crutch. I did okay.
Now that I have my new enema syringe I have to try and get that baking soda around that tumor. I am feeling uncomfortable and aching again. I know that I probably can't beat this cancer but hoping to keep it at bay for a while and shrink that tumor a bit. Just wish I didn't have all these other problems at the moment. Makes everything so difficult.
The medical supply lady is coming Thursday morning with a demo wheelchair. She will be here at 9 am. I'll let you know how that goes.
Like my purple cast? Ha!
