tomorrow is a big day...the cast comes off! i am very excited. afterwards, it´ll be physical therapy for a couple of weeks. i´ve been told that the road to mend will be painful but i´m actually looking forward to it. it´ll be the first time (since i was a baby) that i´ll learn how to use a limb.
overall, i´m not in pain. i actually feel really good. i still can´t extend my arm all the way but i´ve been practicing the last couple of days. my therapy will take place in lima,which is where i´m currently at now. once i make enough progress and can endure the 20 hour bus ride then i´ll go back up to site. i plan on being a fast learner so that i can resume my life again. did i tell you guys that i already found someone to teach me the keyboard (since we don´t have a piano here)? i am very excited! i hope you guys are doing well!
ps does anyone know anything about letting metal rods stay in your arm? i actually have the option of getting both the metal rods and screws removed after everything heals, but is it just better to leave them in rather than risk the surgery again?
