I saw my surgeon for the first time since leaving the hospital and he did another set of x-rays on my arm. I'm happy to report that he says the healing is "textbook", something that I think surprised him as much as it did me considering my health history. Knowing that, he was able to remove the bandages and the staples and send me home in just a sling. This is something I still don't understand considering how bad the break was, I was certain it would be casted, but, not anymore. I'm not yet able to do PT, but, have been told to start trying to move the arm away from my body, no more than an inch though, and continuing working on straightening at the elbow. I'll see my doctor again in another two weeks and he'll decide then if I'll be ready for more serious PT. Thanks to all for the good wishes, keep sending those positive thoughts.
On a side note, for those who have noticed, while I've been dealing with this, someone decided it was a good time to hack my website and message board, both are corrupted and we are working to try and find the problem and save four years worth of work. I will never know why people do these things, it's just hateful...
