Op a Success (:

Thankfully, my operation went without a hitch. My whole left arm is now swollen, very sore and constantly throbbing, but the screws and pins etc. will help my metacarpals heal properly. Thankfully, my wrist didn't need anything done.

I woke up at 2pm today; yesterday, I was still very drowsy from the anaesthetic, and I think the painkillers probably added to the effect.

Ibuprofen has become my friend...

Now I am completely confined to a sling on my left arm, it's hard to do anything, and as a result, I burnt my right arm today. It's not a good day.

Before, I had my arm in a cast, but could take it out of the sling if I needed slightly more movement. After I woke up, I was pouring the hot water in my cup with my right hand as I was making my tea. I momentarily forgot my left arm was in a sling, and whacked the kettle with my arm. I poured the boiling water all over my right hand. Thankfully, it doesn't seem too bad, although a bit red. How did I manage to spill hot water all over the arm I was pouring the bastard kettle with anyway?

No blister yet, though.

I am off school until Wednesday. So I'll go back to school for Thursday, and then it's half-term. Two weeks of what's supposed to be relaxing, but will most likely be spent studying.

Joy.
