I'm not leaving.. Just don't have too many gory details to share.
I do have 2 weird blood blisters that appeared out of nowhere. And I think I can feel the tightening of my struts and it's really freaky. And it hurts, which is my new status quo. Pain.
Edit: wtf?

And more TMI...
If it was a climbing related injury, would it be cooler?

It's not like you contribute a negative time to the forum in any way..

That pic is before my shower. It doesn't look that bad now. But I admit, it's awful.
I try not to look at it.
I emailed that pic to my doc just now. Maybe it's where they removed a staple. No idea.
My leg looks like f*#king Hellraiser.
We didn't get to climb Double Cross. Next time.

This made me think of you today at my doctors appointment. If you look close I think you can find your leg loop rig thing somewhere centerish to the right.

MRI showed a extra articular calcaneal fracture.
Wednesday it will be two weeks since I took the dive. My doctor said best to leave it alone no surgery and just keep it in the air cast. I have a appointment in another 4 weeks. That will be the 6 week mark. I guess I will find out more then. He really did not say much else. He is kinda a man of few words lol...
I hope he is not just being lazy as in the past he has been pretty non proactive with regard to other injuries.
SP will love this, I have state provided healthcare. I often wonder how much that factors into how my doctors decide to treat me.
Regardless I am thankful to have it. I can't imagine if I didn't! Well I can as I spent a large portion of my life with no health insurgence.
Anywho you hot some serious pictures. You a tough bitch girl!

Just got the hobbling down the carriage rd. Yeah that's gonna be great and suck all at the same time. Either bring a belay slave and following everything as not yo take yo hard a digger or only leading moderate stuff that you don't gave to even try to get up.
Still fresh air again will be nice. By the time I can get back out I am sure anyone whom has spent much time with me through my recovery will be as happy to get rid of me as I will be to be gotten rid of!

hey there say, anita514... oh my, do you have any warning signs, as to watch for, for infection???
that's a realy 'oh my' you got there, :O
say, sanskara... thanks for sharing more info, as to your situation, too...
the chart is very interesting...
is this very commone for ADULTS to have done, as, i thought childhood bones, would do better, as they are still growing? but adults?
wow, :O
hang in there anita514... sending good cheer... perhaps later, down the line, someone can learn or get helpeful info for all this...
i know callie helped a LOT for folks with or having:
foot surgery...
when she shared her situation... whewww... :O
edit--okay, just saw this at wikipedia:
Cleanliness
The pins of the TSF have to be kept very clean, and must be cleaned daily to prevent infections. Infections of the pin sites in an external fixator are often very serious, sometimes resulting in osteomyelitis, and may require hospitalisation and intravenous antibiotics. However some less serious infections can be treated with penicillin, such as Flucloxacillin Sodium.
wow, just saw this too, as to the frame, you had mentioned:

Lots of adults get frames too
But I've always ever seen them on kids, to correct deformities or discrepancies, since everything's still growing. But it's fine on adults too, just takes longer.
Edit: cleaning pins with sodium chloride. Hurts.

It's me.. Born with a disease. Fractured bones would not heal, even after many grafts, plates and such. So as I grew up my R leg was weak and underdeveloped.
Been waiting for year. Got the call in mid feb !

Holy sh#t Hank,
My mother has diverticulitis.
Those pictures are scary as they kinda put in perspective what could happen worst case. After many years of western doctors she has adapted her diet big time to compensate for the condition to great success. When western doctors failed she went the alternative medicine and diet route. It has been a great success so far I guess only time will tell?
She has told me that western doctors told her it could get real nasty if she did not get a grip on the condition. We are Irish, my grandfather also suffered this condition those pictures scare me for both the future of my mother and myself.
Best of luck of luck man. I have seen my mother suffer bloody hell a result of her gut!

I did the Diverticulitis w/bladder fistula thing year before last. Not Fun. Looks like you got robotic Hank. They tried to with me but ended up cutting me wide open.
The procedure likely saved my life. The sepsis I got nearly killed me.
Still not at what I would call a full recovery.
