Yesterday and Wednesday were doctors appointment days. On Wednesday my brother Tim was in town so he got to drive me around to various things including me Physical Therapy appointment where I got the run around from the PT people. Turns out that I need the doctor to write me a prescription to get physical therapy even though on my hospital discharge papers it says to make the appointment. Bummer.
Yesterday Heather drove me to the trauma clinic where I got the PT prescription, had the stitches from the chest tube wound taken out and got some bad news. Doc (different attending this time) says 6 to 9 months recovery time for the right arm and there are not any guarantees about how much movement will come back, bummer :( This whole brachial plexus thing is turning into a nightmare.
The have me scheduled for another MRI next week to make sure that there is no spinal damage so hopefully that turns up clean.
Today's Friday before St. Paddy's Day and there is a happy hour @ Jive. I'm going in to say high to people, check out whats going on in the office and see about getting back to work. It's been rather boring the last few days and I really need something to do besides Blog.
