already getting old

sabineIt's really nifty that our bones are able to heal. It's also nifty that the way my radius fractured means that I need neither surgery nor a cast. It's neat that I can still sort of use my arm and can already work on my PT to regain flexibility and strength. It's nifty that I should be back to functional in 2 weeks. It's nifty that I have enough skirts to make life a bit easier.
It's not nifty that it hurts all the time. It's sometimes just an ache, but it likes to give me spikes of agony. It's not nifty that certain small arm motions - like those involuntary ones when I'm catching my balance or sleeping - really, really hurt. It's not nifty that I can have only Tylenol at werk - my heavy-duty pain pills make me too loopy to drive or work. It's not nifty typing one-handed when my job is all about typing. It's not nifty that the sling to support my forearm makes my neck and back all ouchy. It's not nifty that arm sling doesn't really work with running.
Sigh. This is already getting old. I'm whiny and tired and grumpy and hungry. Meer.
