arm update
i still have some paper tape over the wound itself, but ive been told to let that fall off over time and once it does to just let it breathe. ive been able to cut back on painkillers to 1000 mgs twice a day instead of 3 or 4 times, and can go about 8 hours between doses instead of only 6, though i usually have to put my splint back on in the evenings.
all in all, going pretty well!!
