UPDATE: The Fall

I met with my surgeon last Friday and he said that I am behind schedule on my flexion (bending my elbow) and has put me in a dynasplint (see below).  He said there is a lot of scar tissue there that I have to work hard at breaking through to get my full range of motion back.  I go  back on the 15th and he said if I don't have better flexibility by then, he will consider doing a manipulation (more surgery), which I definitely don't want.  So I have been working really hard on my exercises, but still am not seeing the progress I was hoping for after one week.  I start with the splint on Monday so fingers crossed, I will get a lot of flexibility in that week before I see the doctor again. 


 Ten days to make a BIG change...wish me luck!
