I have been worried that I am not keeping my arm still enough so I tried to make an appointment with my doctor to discuss it but her first availability wasn’t until Saturday, so, I text messaged her instead.

She called at 4:15 pm to let me know that I am not to use my arm at all because every time I do my rib moves 🙄

It turns out that I do very much need to have my arm in a sling, I just need the sling then strapped to my body. This is for a minimum of two weeks which is when we will reassess the situation 😅

I’m not allowed to drive, which means I can’t work unless we come up with an alternative, though, I’m not sure my doctor would be happy. I am definitely going to take this Saturday off since I truly do need to rest ☺️

Now I just have to find someone to help me since I’m not sure I will be able to strap my arm to my body myself and if I can I know it will only add extra pain and cause me more issues, so, if Andrew is not available, I may end up meeting a new neighbour since my doctor was extremely clear about how important it is that I do this. Even she said, if it comes down to it, I must ask a neighbour or anyone for help 🙌

I’m not going to lie, it’s times like this when I dream of having somewhere to go. Someone to help me. To let me stay with them while I heal, but I don’t and that is ok. I am only one in a world of millions going through exactly the same thing. That’s why I share. Because I know all of you are here with me too 🥰
