Update on broken arm

I am typing this with my left hand so bear with me.
Since I broke my arm and damaged my shoulder and had a black eye, I have had and still do considerable pain. I am taking Aleve which helps ease the pain. Prescription pain medicines cause me to be nauseated and have horrible hallucinations. My doctor have me some samples of a pain prescription but I haven’t taken any of it. I may have to if my pain gets any worse.
Despite the pain and frustration of not being able to do much with my left hand, my son and I are grateful that my injuries were not more serious. I fell so hard on the pavement that I could have been killed. I have seen my Dr twice since I fell and have apt next Friday with her and will also have new X rays made then.
Son Barry and I thank God for letting me live and would appreciate your prayers for my recovery.
The home health bath lady and physical therapist are coming to the house to help me while I recuperate.
Serendipity in all of this trouble is that the bath lady who helps me in the shower is the same one who helped my late husband during his long illness and I have enjoyed talking to her.
Also, she gives the best shampoo I have ever had.
