First check-up on my arm

zimenaSo, first of all, my arm is much better. I can move it at least a bit, and it doesn't hurt too much anymore. Therefore, I was quite optimistic when I went for my first check-up at the hospital today.
...but unfortunately, there is still a visible anomaly on the x-ray pictures. It might even look like the fracture is bigger now than it was initially, but the doctor said that this might be just because the two sets of x-ray pictures might have been taken from slightly different angles. Because they're not certain that it's healing the way it should, I'm supposed to wear that annoying sling for another week, until the next check-up.
I'm not happy about that. Wearing the sling felt like it made sense a few days ago, when my arm was still constantly hurting. Keeping it still helped minimize the pain, but by now the sling just feels severely limiting. Another week with these limits feels like a long time, especially now that I feel able to do at least some movement. I guess I'll just have to manage, though.
And less pain IS a good thing, of course.
In other news, I randomly checked an old online Hogwarts site that some of you should know well the other day. I don't know what made me go there and look again, but... maybe I'm just curious? Much to my surprise, I still remembered my login over there, and after some guesswork I also managed to get into the email account I had used for that place, back in the day. It's quite strange to get into an email account where all the new mail is spam, and the oldest "new" spam is from 2006... that's so long ago.
Maybe I should've just closed the account, but seeing it again made me more curious what that place is like now...? For now I'm thinking of going back as a "casual" student, especially because classes look quite cool, and it's still mainly forum-based, and I miss having a forum to go to. I don't want to get back to the level of involvement I once had, though.
I'm still undecided about this, but it just feels right to mention it over here in case I end up doing anything like that.
Also, speaking of this reminds me that I still haven't seen any of the "Fantastic Beasts" movies. That's another thing on my to-do list. Another week with my arm in a sling sounds like the perfect opportunity to watch at least the first one, but I don't know if I'll get around to it. Someone needs to make me a comfortable nest on the sofa, hand me a bowl of popcorn, AND make me stop thinking of things I normally choose to do instead of watching a movie, and then maybe we'll talk about watching something....?
