Week 9

The elbow is healing like a champ. It's a bit stiff, range of motion is still improving and my arm strength has not recovered. However, this isn't limiting me in any way. The ulnar nerve palsy just f*cking sucks. I really don't notice any difference in my hand. It remains a challenge to try to type, cook or do anything else that requires some dexterity. The pins & needles feeling is also getting old. Taking the gabapentin doesn't seem to have any effect. I tried to sleep without the elbow brace, but that just didn't work. Not sure if it's in my head or not, but I've just been tossing and turning. I got up and put the brace on. Now, I'm googling ulnar nerve shit and reading the horror stories. I wish I could turn my attitude around on this. I just seem to be in a permanent bummer mood. Like there's a little black cloud over my head, I just don't feel happy or joy. Off to Cleveland in the morning to celebrate the Cav's win. I better feel a little freaking joy over that.
