What a difference from week 3 to 4, the confidence I’ve built up around the cast is so much better. Which means I’m now sleeping mostly as I would do before surgery, though I do protect it as best as I can still. So much nicer sleeping on my side.

The first week of the hard cast I kept knocking the tip of my thumb, which was painful!! Now I seem to have realised where it is 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Can’t actually make a fist but I can exercise the fingers as if I am.

Boredom is very real, worse as I seem to not be able to concentrate on various TV shows or reading (which I often get like after my big general anaesthetic surgeries, so I thought it was the general?! ) And I’ve been super emotional too. Again I thought it was general anaesthetic making me more sensitive. I am grieving so it does explain the emotions, but usually I can hold it back better. I think I’m missing outdoor life, yoga and I need to add them back in.

Found a few hands free ISH yoga videos to do, so I’m all for adding yoga back into my life. Just help with emotions at least.
