Discomfort, irritation, inconvenience, schedule disruption …….


How wonderful after a true threat was so close.

So, yeah, the follow-up with the Ortho-Dude today, with the MRI results. Basically, they were alarming enough that he shuttled her off to another Ortho-Dude in the same group; the new one specializes in knee & shoulder problems. Damage to both ACL & MCL or PCL in the knee (one torn, the other has a 3rd degree sprain). Slight fracture to the very top of the humerus that was missed by the x-ray/CAT scan. Damage to the rotator cuff & torn tendon in the shoulder. Both the knee & shoulder injuries are unusual. As a result, she is in both a cast & a sling for the next two weeks. She is very unhappy about this.

Poor girlie. Let her do or have something that she can only do/have when she is in a cast.

Oh no, hope she heals quickly.

My prayers are for her. Hope she gets well soon.

Um, no. She is not getting to ax-kick me in the head.

Are the casts fibreglass or plaster?

Fibreglass at least allow showering and gentle swimming.

And she had to go get the cast re-done last night (they warned us thi was likely to happen, in fact); the new one is a bit more comfortable than the old one was, so that's something. And no, she's not allowed to get it wet.

So sorry GG, praying for some positive healing for your daughter.

It was a cruel April Fool's joke my daughter played on her cast today. Telling it everything was going to be fine, nothing to worry about. Instead, of course, the people at the Orthopedists' office cut off the cast entirely. And replaced it with a funky brace. Means she can now probably get up & down the stairs (with great difficulty, but it's better than not at all). Physical therapy on her shoulder, which was on for the upcoming week, has been pushed back to next week.

So long as the general trend is towards improvement, it's good.

Well, the procedure took a whole lot fuckin' longer than anyone was thinking it would. But it turns out, the ligament wasn't as damaged as it appeared to be-cartilage was completely torn, but the ligament was "only" severely stretched. Subcutaneous pins to hold it in place, floating cartilage removed, recovery looks like it's going tot ake the full 6 weeks. Then another one for her rotator cuff in her left shoulder.

And she threw up from the anesthesia last night. But later, she was able to eat & keep down a cheeseburger, so the nausea didn't last long. Oh, what fun.
