Dog walking is dangerous!

Oh crumbs - so near an escape to go home but then maybe not! Although as the others have said, far better for it to be sorted properly now so it can heal in alignment and cleanly the first time around.

Fingers crossed they sort it quickly for you, they do seem to be very on the ball about your treatment

 

[Moobli]

Hope you have got lots of good books to read.

 

[deb_l222]

Oh my days, poor you!! Hope your surgery goes as planned and you're back home really soon. Wishing you a super, speedy recovery.

 

[Pearlsasinger]

Oh bum!!! Hopefully all will be OK.

Wish I could sign your cast

It's dark blue (to minimise the grubbiness) so I'm not sure it would be worth it, unless you have a silver pen.

 

[Pearlsasinger]

Definitely far better to be thorough in these things, though frustrating and stressful for you.

There Speaks the voice of wisdom! And I do know it really but am so very disappointed

 

[Pearlsasinger]

Hope you have got lots of good books to read.

All on my phone, which I very optimistically took with me to xray, I could barely lift my head off the pillow while i was waiting, after the re-plastering

 

[CanteringCarrot]

Best wishes for a smooth recovery once it is all sorted out.

 

[Sleighfarer]

What a horrible thing to happen. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Sounds like you are being very brave!

 

[Rosemary28]

Ouch! Hope you make a speedy recovery!

Aye lass, you will be. It will pass. Every five minutes is a bit closer to being okay.

I know that sounds a bit trite, it's just what I use to get through the tough times.

 

[Rumtytum]

What a bummer. Wishing you everything speedy to get you home asap.

 

[EventingMum]

Oww, poor you, hope it heals well.

 

[Cinnamontoast]

God, I’m really sorry to hear this, tib and fib! ? I hope they check it soon so you can get sorted. Demand painkillers if you’re in any kind of pain, you don’t need to tolerate it. This place is great for entertainment, as is mumsnet.

Latest plan is to fix a wire frame to the bones and outside the leg. Temp job tomorrow and I can weight bear as soon as that is comfortable. Then I have to be referred to LGI for a longer lasting frame. I might have to wear it for up to 6 months. Wish me luck!



ETA, they are very good with the painkillers. Just had codeine for muscle spasms with morphine on standby
ETA 2 just been told that Covid test came back negative. They have been very good at keeping me safe so far.

Flipping heck. You did it in fine style that's for sure lass. Good you'll be able to weight bear.

Baubles and tinsel on the framework at Christmas? Will be quite fetching along with the blue plaster and silver penwork.

 

[Pearlsasinger]

It would be but sadly the blue plaster and silver pen have to be exchanged for the frame. Dr wants to be able to monitor soft tissues closely. There is currently a massive blister over the break site.

In that case it'll just have to be more tinsel!

 

[Cinnamontoast]

Lord above! A frame!! You’re going to have some seriously impressive scars.

Codeine is nice, but beware the resultant itching, I was double dosing Piriton along with codeine, I had no idea why I was scratching my skin off! Also *whispers* beware of constipation with codeine. Dried apricots worked amazingly for me, but tricky when the unavoidable urge came and I couldn’t really walk.

 

[FinnishLapphund]

6 Months! Poor you, that might feel like ages, but as long as you get well again in the end.

[LadyGascoyne]

Thinking of you. Hope you’re doing ok and aren’t too sore.

 

[GSD Woman]

Ouch! I'm glad that you are getting the correct pain relief and that you have the National Health Service.

Well you did a complete job on that PaS! What a nightmare. I hope the frame fitting goes well and you can get our of there and back home soon.

Thanks, yes, I am looking forward to getting back home. I didn't ask how long I will have to stay in hospital getting used to the frame, or whether physio will be involved, I should have done but I haven't quite been thinking straight because of all the pain relief.
Ct, you are absolutely right about the codeine and itching, both feet felt as if they were on fire yesterday.

 

[mini_b]

Wasn’t expecting to read that at all! Best wishes and heal well PaS

 

[cbmcts]

Oh dear PaS, you really did take a purler! Look after yourself

 

[MrsMozart]

How you doing lass?

 

[View]

Oh wow - just caught up with this.

Sorry that it's going to need a frame, and take so much time. You really have done a proper job of it!

 

[misst]

Sorry to read this PaS - shocking how quickly things go awry. Send vibes for a speedy discharge from hospital and a good recovery. Glad they are keeping up the painkillers for you .

 

[Rumtytum]

Fingers crossed ? your hospital stay isn’t long, sounds as if you’re being well cared for but still as you say you’ll be happier in your own home.

 

[Fools Motto]

Sounds so painful! Wishing you a safe, and speedy recovery. x
