i have tried but my hand is stuck in a fist. i'm so scared, i thought i was doing good, i go on, don't let on to family how much it hurts. i get depressed because life is normal for them, not me. i feel useless. yes, i favor the arm. i've tried not letting it get me down but now i want to cry. i feel like i am losing it.
