Well, this thing is turning into a career. It’s been 3 1/2 months since the accident. I’ve had a wound vac on my leg for a month and a half to encourage it to heal from the bottom up, but there’s a tendon running right through the center of the wound and it just won’t heal over.
So, a few days after Christmas I go back into the hospital for a couple more surgeries. The ortho surgeon has to cut the wound out larger to get all bad stuff and make a better place for the plastic surgeon. A couple of days later the PS will cut a chunk with some muscle out of my thigh and graph it to the injury.
Then whenever it’s time, I have to go back in for them to remove all the hardware that they put in for the compound fracture originally. Not sure when that is. It’s been a mess.
Can’t work or do much of anything. My hot water heater went out a couple of days before my last surgeries so I still have no hot water for a month and a half now. I’m gonna try and find a good lawyer on Monday. I need help.
Mostly, I’m doing fine with my spirits and all. I mostly worry that my bills are going to be hard to pay this winter. And, I’m just getting really bored with it all. And sick of the hassles. Every trip to the ortho doc, disease specialist, and now plastic surgeon, is a two hour trip, one way. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve been up for appointments.
I had a visit yesterday, another one this coming Wednesday, and then back for another 7-9 days in the hospital on the 29th. Oh, and I have a home health care nurse that comes by 3 times a week to change the dressings for the wound vac. It’s like a new career with no pay! lol.
So far mine is mostly hassle with some pain and uncertainty, but not sure if you guys knew that @oleskool830 was just recently diagnosed with liver cancer. He texted me a few days back and said he has a blood clot on his brain and a mass on his pancreas. That’s all of the news I have so far. He hasn’t been able to get back with me on most all text or mail. Makes me feel like mine is like a scratch, compared to his.
Sorry for the downer post. This is such a positive thread. I’ll see if I can get some pics up. I figured it’d be something to keep my mind off things and give me a positive diversion.
Kudos to all of the photogs who already posted. I’ve seen a good bit of it and there’s some really cool stuff. Thanks for the all of the contest work @Heliosphear! I’m completely devoid of that kind of drive atm. I’ve been itching to drop some seeds, but I have no idea of how many more 7 day visits I’m facing. Hopefully for me, the spring and summer should be good. peace
