One Week On

For the past several days, heavy thunderstorms have rolled through, making for cozy listening.  I've needed the storms today, because.  .  .

PAIN.

Really, I don't want to only talk about my fall, but that's all that's going on here.  Literally.  I can't do anything for more than a minute or a minute and a half without having to find a comfortable position and some ice.  The orthopedist said the tingling and numbness could last a while;  weeks even.

Believe it or not, there is improvement.  My whole hand was numb, but now it's only my middle finger.

Still, this morning, as I changed clothes, I mis-held or mis-folded or something and a jolt of pain went down my arm that made me see stars.  Nothing like that has ever happened to me before;  thankfully, I was near the bed and could fall on it.  An unpleasant day has followed.

I do need to say that Tap has been so, so sweet through this.  He stays right next to me, popping up every now and then to look at me for a few seconds.  Quieter, gentler than usual.

"Everything good here?"
