The good news…

After an appointment to see the consultant about my arm it doesn’t look like I’ve fractured anything. The consultant sent me off to the physiotherapy department, who saw me immediately. I was very impressed by the treatment I received; explaining the purpose of the medication I was prescribed; measuring the range of movement I’ve got in my left arm (not much); advising me on when to rest the arm, when to exercise it, when to use ice and when to stop. The NHS gets a lot of criticism but I can only praise them for the job they’ve done so far.
