An odd thing happened on the way to the forum.

I've been discharged from a hospital clinic. :shock: My third set of Xrays of the shoulder showed that healing is happening, the original breaks can barely be seen, the rather large triangle of bone that they were concerned about has knitted back into place and in a good position to boot, and a splinter of bone that was sticking out (I never knew about that or perhaps I was too doped on oromorph to take it in) has been nearly reabsorbed. Crikey. I have a very good range of movement, I am to keep up with physio and my exericises (I haven't done those for over a week ) but the fracture clinic is history.

Now to do the same with rheumatology and orthopaedics . . . . DD

Super news- well done you super healer!!!!!!!!! Now perambulate carefully in order to avoid a repeat performance . Seriously though- well done on keeping up the exercises etc- sometimes our healing is to some extent in our own hands, and it's tempting to let stuff slip-I'm guilty of that with breathing exercises for the lung damage-then I get clogged again and rapidly return to the straight and narrow :oops: .
Maybe it's a good day for a small libation in celebration

Well done you! My friend broke the top part of her arm whilst skydiving indoors :? At first it was kept in a sling in the hope it would heal itself which unfortunately it didn't so she had to have it pinned and it then healed okay, but she did need quite a lot of physio. Glad everything has knitted up together.

Hello dd,

Good news.
Does this mean that you can pick your nose with either
hand again?

dreamdaisy

I've been doing that for weeks, Ichabod, it's passed the time, occasionally fruitfully (not that I have fruit growing in my nasal cavities )
Everyone else? Thank you all for your very kind words, it is a result, isn't it?

I fully took in the severity of the break today, the charming Registrar took me through the all three sets of Xrays and even I could appreciate the differences. I reckon it's done what it's done because I obeyed the rules, I 'slept' sitting up, wore my sling constantly until I was told I could leave it off overnight, I didn't push the exercises too hard or too far and didn't do anything to jeopardise matters (although it was tempting at times). It has taken longer than the 4 - 6 weeks they said, I'm in week 8 and still have a little way to go so I must still keep on being sensible. Ye gods, enough of that already! DD

Terrific news, DD! Crossing a consultant off your list sounds heavenly. Good for you for following instructions to the letter. I think you've saved yourself a lot of grief/additional pain by doing this. Good to hear of your positive healing experiment, I mean experience , despite antiTnfa DMARD treatments.

Now, no more going head over heels ok?

Did dreambeatrice miss you?
