We've Got Movement.......

I made it over to see Mom earlier this week and she looked SO good. Her swelling in her hand had gone down tremendously and she is almost able to straighten her elbow. She is still doing her exercises several times a day and has incorporated a little more movement in her arm. Her shoulder is still not to move at all but getting the other muscles in her arm to get stronger is so important.

Mom decided to take herself off of her pain medicine on Tuesday and has been doing pretty good. The nights are most difficult waking up in the middle of them and not being able to go back to sleep. It is very hard for her to get comfortable with her arm in the sling.

I can tell that she is getting so much stronger and on her way to recovery! Her spirits seem to be great and her energy is high.


Mom's arm looks SO good!
