I was very hopeful a week ago. Now I am not so sure.
I had a lot of pain in my arm last night. I took oxycodon and slept well. I don't like oxycodon; it causes constipation for me.
I have no visibility to really know what is happening inside in my arm. I only feel the pain. This suggests perhaps there is a lot of muscle damage which has to heal. The fractures seem to be healing; I would know when I go for X-rays in a week.
My biggest problem is sleeping at night. I have tried two couches and two beds in my home and one bed (not the one I usually sleep in) and one couch are relatively more comfortable. I developed a shooting pain in my right lower rib which was not injured during the accident. I must have injured it during sleep while turning or so (turning myself or getting up is always difficult).
What all this suggests is until I heal completely, my internal condition is unpredictable. At the cellular level, in the neighborhood of my injuries within my body, it must be a huge battleground and reconstruction arena. I would guess the body constantly fighting infections and at the same time repairing the damaged cells to restore the muscles and bones and whatever else. I am eating well, but my weight is not going up despite zero physical activity. My body probably is using up all the energy and nutrition in the massive restoration; that is just my guess.
