Sandra summarizes her status:
In the last 2 days I’ve seen both of my orthopedic surgeons and here is my most current info:
- Left wrist is healing well but still not weight bearing.
- Right wrist has a few broken bones and will need surgery – we are holding off for 2-3 weeks until I can do more with left hand, otherwise I will have no usable appendages :(
- Left leg is now in a bendable brace with 30 degrees of bending allowed – he said it’ll be a month before I can start with a new PT regimen of bending the leg and longer until I can place weight on the leg because of the rod in my femur. I see him in a month to get approval for next level of PT.
- Right leg is also in a bendable brace but with no bending allowed. Same plan as left leg.
- Right foot is healing OK. Hopefully the broken bone will be ready for weight bearing when the knee is ready.
She had the immobilizing splints removed from both legs, got fitted with two moveable/bendable leg braces, and the right ankle is no longer wrapped. ALL sutures are finally out, she is less covered up now - 1 ace bandage as protection from the brace per leg vs. 3 bandages per leg. In other words, braces are slimming!
Since it started raining, I realized we really do need a carport. Glad we will not melt. :)
Well holy crap, at least this is all good news. Where the time speed up button when you need it.
ReplyDeletefast forward, aka time travel? :)
ReplyDeleteI guess it depends on the type of time travel. Maybe a time warp, so time just speeds up but you speed up with it, not instantaneously jump to the next point without time affecting you because then it would change nothing =/
ReplyDeleteI wish Sandra and speed recovery.
