I'm keeping this little journal primarily for my own purposes, to have some record of my symptoms & recovery. Some of the swelling has gone down now and some areas of localized pain have come into better focus. The day after my accident I had a strong metallic taste in my mouth. My teeth had been 'rattled' and felt loose. Now tonight I have at least one lower molar that is suddenly sensitive to heat and cold. I still have all the tingling in the limbs and from time to time part of my face (right side) feels tingly and my right eye does not feel right. On Wednesday I had ringing in my right ear too. My right side is definately worse than my left, but I do have some tingling there too, particularly when I raise my left hand to hold a phone to my ear. My shoulders are painful, including between my shoulder blades. When I bend my head back so as to look up towards the ceiling it hurts down to between my shoulder blades. I still have pain mid-back and in my lower back and my upper arms. I'm a little less foggy and feel a little better today overall. I was able to get the dishes done a little better, but I noticed I had trouble lifting a pan of water with my right arm alone. I still have some trouble breathing at times, particularly laying on my back in bed and if I bed forward. I have moments of short stabbing pains around my mid-section both above and below my waist. I've been fatigued easily and sleeping 10 - 12 hours and foggy and slow when awake, although today I had less of that. |
