Dug DEEP Tonight

Tonight, I dug deep.  The evidence is clear...

Actually, what happened was this...

About midway through the second 10 minutes at highest power - about an hour or so in - I noticed some red droplets hitting my sweat-guard.  My son was in the room playing around, and I told him to go get a mirror.  I was starting to panic.  Red droplets?  I checked my nose... nothing.  I checked my forehead... nothing.

Then it dawned on me.

I was wearing a red bandanna, and though I've had the thing for years, I must have never washed it because it was "bleeding out" now that it was drenched with sweat.

*whew*

Funny thing is that my first thought wasn't to stop what I was doing, but to ask an easily distracted 5 year old to get me a mirror.

Clavicle Break Week 14 (Sep 23, 2018 - Sep 28, 2018)

Pain Level: 2
Discomfort: 2

Attire: Normal.

Physical Therapy: 5lb range of motion exercises plus some additional strength related movements.  Exogen device twice a day.

This will be the last of the weekly posts.  I'll update as needed from here.

I'm discouraged and frustrated by the apparent lack of healing.

Maybe it's that, or maybe something physical has happened, but it's hurt more this week than it has in over a month.

I'll keep going with the Exogen device, but I'm preparing myself for what feels like the inevitability of surgery.

Surgery I wanted the very day it happened, that if I'd gotten, I wouldn't be here writing this today.
