Still off work for another four weeks because my lifting capability is still limited to 1lb.

But I can finally wash my hand.

Have a brace and given a few small stretches to work on while I wait for a call from my doctor to get a CTI scan and to set me up for physical therapy.

Oh gods, I remember when I got an arm cast off. It's so gross, right?

I think the itching from all that gross is the worst part.

firebenderjess: I was so surprised that the itching was surprisingly not that bad for me actually.

But oh god the huge layer of gross dead skin cells just covering my hand.

Lucky, my arm itched like mad.

And the smell of all those gross dead skin cells.

Plus you need to scrub to get rid of them, when your limb looks and feels so fragile...

Even if the bone is healed, muscle atrophy makes it seem like it'd snap like a twig again.

YAY

oh... wait. yeah. the itching has begun

I am shedding everywhere

Ahhh, the part where the dead skin you couldn't scrub off starts flaking off now that it can dry out?
