Suffered a Broken Arm?
You’ve broken your arm, it’s in a cast and you are suddenly feeling very restricted. Things you normally took for granted will suddenly be formidable or impossible to do.
Here are a few things you’ll likely have some problems doing:
- Getting things done quickly. A broken arm will slow you down doing most everything. Allow twice as much time as you usually take for anything.
- Doing anything without pain. Not likely to happen until 6 or 8 weeks go by.
- Showering and Dressing will be very difficult.
- Combing your hair
- Sleeping
- Scratching
- Working
Those are just a few of the things you’ll need to deal with on a daily basis with a broken arm. Plan on 7-8 weeks until you start to function normally again.
So what can you do with a broken arm?
- Stop Smoking. Smoking retards healing.
- Use an electrical stimulator to advance healing.
- I’d suggest catching up on movies or TV series you’ve always wanted to watch but didn’t have time for before.
- Spend time with friends and people in your life you’ve neglected to spend time with.
- Take a free course on www.Coursera.org, a wonderful site that can really change your life.
Here’s a good overview of various types of arm fractures and the issues you may encounter when dealing with them.
