the man & post op


Well, it's been a while , but for a good reason. Firstly i have a wonderful boyfriend to my right . Funnily enough i found him on the Internet dating site something i thought i wouldnt do, but i have decided this is a year of difference, new things , new adventures. He's funny , he listens , he's smart and loving what more could a girl ask for ?
2ndly is this wrist operation, i have been siting here for four days post op now, the op still feeling like my head is full of cottonwool and solid objects are slightly marsh mellow'ïe . I went in last Tuesday morning putting on a brave front, as from the previous week basically i had a stream of people telling operation disaster stories ... this wasnt great my for fragile hospital head space.
But i did have the best doctor in this part of the country. Robert (doctor) came in to examine me before the operation and had decided once again to chance the operation for the 4th time, much to my dismay, again not helping my hospital head space. Finally however the operation was lot more complex than first thought but has worked out very well in the end. So what happened? well in a nut shell the small piece of broken bone still had small pieces of ligament and tendon still attached. So he removed the bone, reattached the pieces, took the cartalidge that was now loose, and grafted it back to my wrist bone and wired the whole thing back together again. Cool or what!!!!. The up shot of all of this is, that I am now in a cast upto my shoulder for 4 weeks with more to come. This does sadly meen I will be of my bike for a little longer than expected, but when I return I will be bigger better and badder than before which is great news!. Nurse 'dave' has been doing a good job keeping me fed, clean,watered and saine which is always a bonus and has been there for me during those "heavy lettuce" days { thanks Mr tranadol } .
