Injury

For a few weeks I've been dealing with a injury to my elbow with pain that radiates into my forearm.  The chiropractor said my radius was rotated in my elbow in a bad way.  I started three weeks ago and has been slow to heal.

Well, Friday at a birthday party my daughter grabbed me by the hand and pulled me through the room.  By the end of the night it was clear that I had re-injured my arm.  Saturday it wasn't too bad and seemed to be healing again. 

The I did something stupid.  I decided to do a little work on my car.  I changed the headlight and had to take the battery out to get to it.  Lifting the thing was very painful.  Then I changed the sparkplugs.  That doesn't seem like a strenuous task until you consider that it was half an hour of using tools with both hands...especially difficult after I had lifted the battery.

By late afternoon I had to ice my arm.  By the end of the night I had it in a sling.

I tell you all this because I gained weight yesterday.  Is it because of my injury?  There doesn't seem to be a lot of swelling.  I just don't know.

I'm tying this left-handed with my right arm in a sling, so I'll keep this short.
