arm update

Hand is distinctly swollen, mom says is almost certainly due to swelling in arm acting like a torniquet and restricting blood drainage from my hand. Swelling makes hand hurt to clench. wound still draining, is all blood or clear fluid so all good there. Still all looks like hell. Want wrist to stop hurting so I can ditch the damn splint. Advil & tylenol more than sufficient for pain. Think I will keep taking the vicoden for bedtime for the time being. Slept mediocrely, mostly because having to be concious of where my arm is makes me sleep lighter, and sleeping lighter I am more likely to awake to noises, etc.

Today after work I need to try and do some laundry, fold already clean stuff, change to summer sheets on the bed. Keep being annoyed to find stuff I can't do. Stuff like braid my hair, unbraid my hair, wash dishes, type at any useful speed, etc. Really want to work on Emily, but car work is about 90% out of the question.
