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

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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.

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.
 
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 .
