I've semi signed myself back on to work but now i've got the visual of how bad the x-ray is I don't know what I was thinking.
No to this. Rest up laying flat (away from precariously balanced phones), hold the arm on a pillow and do nothing until 2w after the surgery. I do a desk job and holding the arm up for that long was the hardest to come back to. Would not want to displace/tear up muscles with that split bone chip in there.

Yours looks nice and neat from that x-ray but yeah I hear they settle in different places and will just heal like that. I've got a considerable outcropping into my skin, there's little white spots where there's tension like a tent.
I was on 10mg co-dydramol which kept me nice and numb but i'm now not really on anything. It's really uncomfortable first thing in the mornings but just a general ache throughout the day now. I did instinctually try to reach for a falling phone the other day and that floored me for about 20 minutes.
@MrBaklava He might use this as an excuse to put it on the back burner which is understandable tbf.
@giofox Yeah happened last monday in which the following 6 days were the hottest most consistent sun we've had so far this year. Nightmare.
I've heard the speed of recovery after surgery has been really surprising for most people. Will hold back on the skids for a while longer in that case. I heard a nasty story of a pothole impact essentially re-fracturing a semi-healing bone. Awful.
