So I went to see my doctor today and he decided it was time to take my cast off. He wants me moving my elbow as soon as possible and I could see why. I have such limited motion in my elbow and wrist it kind of scares me. He assured me if I worked it out 3x a day that it should get better. *Cross Fingers* I really don't want another surgery to get it moving which is the only other option if it doesn't work on its own. At least I can wear warmer clothes now! Too bad the temperature is going up this weekend, so it may be unnecessary.
Physio should start for me in two weeks or so once I have one more xray done to make sure all my bones are in place!
The hospital is not a fun place to wait, but I like seeing the nurses and doctors interact with their patients. Their jobs are so selfless and they actually make a huge difference in the world and at the end of a workday, I'm sure it feels nice to know you have touched someone's life in a special way. Our professions as business students seem so selfish next to doctors and nurses. We deal with money to make more money for the rich. I never really saw an issue with that before, but now it seems so clear. I think I want to start volunteering at the hospital once school is over :) they have helped me so much and are so nice everytime I go in that I feel a little more guilty each time.
I wonder if I could've ever been a nurse? I used to think I couldn't deal with squeamish things, but I think a lot of things don't phase me so maybe I could've been a nurse. Ever met any accountant turned nurses?
