Was it good news?
Well kinda good news about my arm, I'm not sure, was it good? Although the surgeon greeted me with..'it's good news.' None of the ironmongery in my arm has moved. It is the same on the x-ray as it was on my post op visit. The surgeon was very pleased with it, but I did say I wanted a second opinion if there was to be any further surgery. He agreed although he thought it best to wait and see how it is in 6 weeks time. No physio, no lifting or moving my arm outwards away from my body yet, just gentle movements with it hanging down. I couldn't argue with that as it still gives me pain if I try to lift it, so just to carry on as I have been doing. At least I can knit and I did clean and tidy in the lounge on Monday although not the vac. It just takes me a long time one handed. We weren't as long at the hospital, as we have been in the past, but we had prepared a casserole ( no DH had and cooked it in the morning!) and so we came home to our tasty chicken chasseur... it was lovely! So roll on end of June, by that time it will be 14 months since I broke my arm!!

I am glad that it was positive!
Hopefully by the end of Jun you will have a better outcome. It certainly has been a very long and painful journey. Take care.
hmmm. I am not completely convinced. Do you have the second opinion appointment set up yet?
Blessings to you Chris, keep positive, perhaps you have finally turned the corner and you can look forward to more good news at the next appointment.
Take care x
Thank goodness your post heading didn't read 'bad news', though I am sure you would have liked something more positive said at this stage. You are great in maintaining a positive attitude even though that can be difficult at times.
Here's to the end of June and a happy ending!
It sure has been a long road with this taking so long to heal. But hopefully the good news will continue for your next visit. Hugs and healing thoughts heading your way
I would expect your surgeon to recommend physiotherapy now, Chris. As you say, it's been 14 months and the muscles in your arm have probably grown so weak that it would be nigh on impossible to lift your arm, anyway. Oh - by "now" - I mean he should be suggesting it - you can't start it until the bone is totally mended. But I am so glad to hear things are improving for you. I cannot believe how frustrated you must be feeling!
