Updates

I´ll add new stories and updates every few weeks. Sometimes we're kind of busy while recovering, but help in on the way.

Due to the fall, I have suffered the following injuries:

• Severe dislocation of the left shoulder. My arm bone is no longer connected to the joint linked to the shoulder blade and collarbone. This limits mobility in that arm to complete simple daily tasks as I cannot hold any weight with it.

• Two non-displaced fractures in the sternum. These have made breathing very difficult and coughing rather painful.

• A contusion (bruise) on my left big toe.

• Various superficial lacerations on my face, chest, arm, and leg.

After an exhaustive evaluation using X-rays and a Computerized Axial Tomography (CAT) scan, the medical team has confirmed a complex diagnosis that therapy alone cannot fix:

• Comminuted Fracture of the Humeral Head: The upper end of the arm bone (humerus) is shattered into multiple small fragments.

• Displaced Fracture of the Surgical Neck of the Humerus: A second major fracture where the bones have lost their natural alignment.

• Dislocation of the Glenohumeral Joint: The head of the humerus has completely slipped out of its socket.

Since the accident, I have dedicated myself entirely to my recovery with the support of an excellent medical team.

I am relieved to share that the superficial lacerations on my face, chest, arm, and leg have healed. However, the internal healing is a slower process. The fractures in my sternum—which made breathing and coughing incredibly painful for weeks—are only partially healed, and I am still dealing with persistent pain in my ribs.

The Main Challenge: My Left Arm While dealing with the chest pain was difficult, the damage to my left arm remains the most critical challenge. I have been attending physical therapy for nearly a month to restore basic movement, but progress is limited. 

Because of the severity of the injury, my arm lacks structural stability. I cannot lift any weight, and I am restricted from performing even simple daily tasks
