Succinct Summations for the week ending January 20th, 2017.

Worse news this week,  On my tenth day with this "hematoma," and no improvement though I was supposed to be recovered in a week, new x-rays taken on Friday (the 10th day) revealed it is not a hematoma after all but a fracture of my left elbow, an injury that requires surgery to repair.

Succinct Summation of Week’s Events 1.13.17

It's Day #8 with my arm in a sling so I'm running behind again.  Imagine breaking your arm but being forced to live with it until it heals on its own, without it being set or in a cast.  That's what a hematoma is like except that thankfully the healing is two weeks instead of two months.  I still lack function in my left arm and any use of it at all is very painful, but fortunately no longer excruciating as it was up until a couple days ago.  I should have full use by next week.  I'd better have because classes start two weeks from tonight and I presently can not drive or take notes.  Routine essential tasks like bathing and eating remain extremely difficult.  What a challenge it was just to open a can of soup tonight!

Brief update

I've had a slip-and-fall accident on concrete on the ice so my arm is in  a sling for the next week or two making writing and even reading very difficult with only one functioning hand.  But I do deserve a break and this past week has been a pretty good time to take one since last week was pretty much just more of the same on Wall Street.
