Elbow on the mend
I just had new x-rays and saw the orthopedist. The chip is in a good position and should heal without intervention. It's not exactly against the bone on one edge, but that's normal and fine; the space will fill in with bone. The joint is stable, and with physical therapy I should be able to recover full strength and range of motion. I start therapy on Monday.
I'm to use the arm more, avoiding heavy lifting, twisting, and yard work. I can use the computer, and I don't have to wear the sling during the day. I should consider still wearing it at night, however.
All in all, good news!
