"Mom, your arm kind of looks like a chicken leg"

"Actually, it looks kind of like a giant squash,"  said John.  haha ... This was our dinner conversation tonight after I took my brace off to give my skin a rest.  It really is very swollen at the elbow and I'm told it will be for a really long time. 

I'm still waiting on the elbow device to arrive so we can really work on bending the elbow.  At PT earlier this week we figured out that with about 135 degrees (and a working hand) I should be able to reach my ear to put in my own earings ... a simple wish that I have.  When that day arrives I'll just have to treat myself to a cute pair of earings.
