On the subject of bone growth

And age.

My missus (now well into her X's) had her final wrist op 5 weeks ago when
they broke her distal radius and made a gap (to lengthen the thing) into
which they inserted a bone graft harvested from other parts of her.

X-rayed yesterday and **** ME what a surprise. Magical bone growth to such
an extent that they took the plaster off, gave her instructions to "get it
moving" along with an appointment at the physio this morning and basically
said "**** off and come back in 8 weeks so we can see how much movement
you've got".

It's as good as it's going to get wrt reconstruction, so she's got some work
to do now (again).

She said to me "Tell Champ there IS light at the end of the tunnel". So...
Champ, there IS light at the end of the tunnel.

And it's approaching at 125mph..

Nice one matey, pass on our best

 

The thing is, in breaking your femur, you've broken (amongst other
things) the biggest bone in your body.
I broke mine when I was 21. I was in hospital for 13 weeks and off
work for another 13 weeks.

That was a with clean break with no pins. Yours is a much more
spectacular (for want of a better word) break than mine was. You are
also older than I was. I had issues with mine "bending" on a few
occasions before it had set properly. There were times when it felt
like it would never get better. It did get better however and 30 years
on I have no problems with it that aren't age related..
It's a big bone for your body to repair. It will take time, but it
will come good in the end. Youjust have to grin and bear it.
Trust me.

 

Excellent!

Hayley is a bit concerned that the pin in her femur ball has gone loose as
she reckons she can feel movement and has a lot of pain.

Excellent news. Unfortunately i'm in my (very, very early) forties and
bone growth is a slow old process now if I break something.

I'm concentrating on not skittling myself, me.

Hey, good news, so you'll soon be getting a smack around the ear?

Yeah, she's a bit chuffed and her physio is impressed at the amount of
movement. I'm not quite as chuffed as it seems too restricted to me, but
I'll wait and see what the future brings.

That's what I suspect kicked off tthe healing.

She never fails to ask how you're doing. It's a woman thing I think

She's whinging far more than pre accident norms The most oft heard quote
from her at the moment is "These fucking 'thlid' (or 'crip') sticks are
fucking pissing me off" ..... (in relation to her crutches)

I don't hear her whinging muh, but I do get a lot of "I can't
open/close/lift/reach" this that and the other. Ohh aye, and "I need you to
wash my hair" but that's only every fucking morning

How is she about getting back on the bike?

Indeedy, I just hope there's a lot more movement to come.

And it won't slow down either.

My misus is in her early 50's. I KNEW that when she reached 40 I should've
swapped her for two 20's like I told her I would.

So am I, but it fucks up a good blast I can tell you.

What about two 20s and a credit note?

 

Much truth is spoken there

Done. She says "tak ska du har"
