Week 1 of Occupational Therapy
I’ve always been on the other end of therapy. I have always been the one administrating and showing exercising and not the one performing them. So, even though this was something new I was up for the challenge.
Yes, it was a bit of a struggle because of the swelling and bruising that was going on. The pain was somewhat tolerable even though I was only 2 days post recovery, but they didn’t waste any time cutting away the bracing and bandages. It was basically removal and then right into some heat to help loosen everything up.
If you can imagine 3 small incisions- 2 on the outside of the elbow and the 3rd one on my triceps. They had to go though the triceps to the remove the biggest of the 3, which was about 2cm long. Imagine a piece of elbow macaroni lodged in your elbow and then it will be removed. Pretty crazy, Right? It hurt like crazy the first week and there is a ton a scar tissue build up that was causing a bit of discomfort.
Im not sure how to really explain how it feels, but lets just say that you were compensating with your left arm for the last 5 years and now it is back to normal things are a bit out of whack!! Really out of whack.
Neck hurts, shoulder hurts, and scapula is super tight!! But life goes on.
You never know how your clients feel, until you are in their shoes.
Week one was a struggle, but I had plenty of stretches and exercises to do. The main thing was to do what I was told and not what I wanted to do. Its a tough spot to be in, but progress is being made.
Stay tuned for Week 2 Update…..
