Just wanted to give an update on the elbow. Despite the ibroprofen setback, I'm still improving. Yesterday, for the first time, I was able to bend my arm back enough to touch my thumb to my shoulder! Last time I had seen my surgeon I told him in no uncertain terms that I was determined to do that, and I know can! I look forward to the time when I can do it without having my left arm help me on the way!
Straightening the elbow is better, too. At PT last week we got it within 5 and 10 degrees of being straight! Woo Hoo!
Pronation and supination is still tough, but we make progress. Both get pretty far now. I think at one point we got supination to 75 degrees!
So, progress continues!

Oh, God, at the thought of handstands I nearly passed out..! I shake just thinking about grabbing a handrail if I should stumble...
