As you can imagine, today I have mostly been wearing a wet flannel (on my arm). When I need to use both hands for eating,I wrapped the flannel in cling film.
Whilst it did work by keeping the flannel on, it also didn’t cool my arm, as the flannel got warm and because of the cling film, got warmer and warmer
Tonight I have put on 100% aloe Vera gel
Brilliant. Wish I’d have used it earlier.

Still swollen but no worse than last night. Fingers crossed it starts going down soon

You've worked in a school - you know that a damp paper towel is a sovereign cure for anything up to and including a broken arm 😂

Arm update:
Well I slept ok. Woke up at 8 to take my antibiotics. All ok.
But when I started moving around it started moving too. Past my elbow now and into my fingers 😞. I’ve had to take my wedding ring off Well John did. It looks like someone else’s arm. Rang 111 to be on the safe side. Just waiting for them to call me back 🙄
