Yesterday's visit to the orthopedic surgeon brought unwelcome news. The x-ray of the bones showed that they may not be healing as they're supposed to heal. I'm in too much pain after 2 2/2 months seems to be a give away - "The only time I've been pain-free was on your operating table!"
He ordered a CT scan for Monday; come back to him Wednesday for the results. When I asked "So what's next?" he laughed and said, "Let's see the CT scan first!"
I'm privately betting a hip replacement might be next. Having to return to surgery is almost never a good thing but this may be the exception in that replacements heal faster than pins and we are already set up for home care -- we have the hi-rise toilet seat (for minimal sitting down) the waffle cushion for butt-ease when sitting, a walker and a transporter wheel chair.
Oh! and the drawings of exercises for post surgery.
But there is no point in worrying until Wednesday afternoon. What will be, will be. We're prepared, pretty much.
