Oh how life can be so cruel.
I dreaded writing this post. All
the fears I had at the beginning of this journey seemed to have come true.
Here’s my latest x-ray:
The ortho has recommended surgery, but I had to convince him
that I wanted some more time to heal.
I’m giving myself three more weeks to see some significant healing or
else I’m going the surgery route.
I’m so disappointed by this.
I can’t really explain all the fluctuations in my healing and shifting
of my bones in the last three months. So
many thoughts run though my head…(i.e. What if I had stayed in my cast longer?, What if I had slept more on my back?) I was given a new cast and rolls of cotton to
place in between my arm and chest to help elevate the bones come closer
together. This was the same position I
was in on day one. It’s like the past 3
months never happened.
It was suggested I try a bone stimulator machine, but my
insurance doesn’t cover it and it is way too expensive and there’s no guarantee
that it will help. I truly hope that
elevating my arm will assist in a significant way considering this was the
position I was placed in during the six-week mark, which resulted in good bone
alignment.
This sucks.
