Hello, I am back for now. My arm is still not doing right. I now have a bone stimilater on for 10 hours a day. This sends electric impulses to the bone to help it heal faster. I don't feel anything but it makes my arm tired. I can hear it clicking when it is on. Boy am I glad I have insurance, this machine costs $5000 and I won't have to pay anything for it, the insurance will cover it all. When I broke my arm they didn't check my shoulder and it was giving me more and more fits, so they did a bone scan and found some hot spots that showed where it was not mending correctly and my shoulder was a big hot spot. So I had an MRI of my shoulder done. I didn't tear any ligaments or my ACL, but I wrenched my shoulder. Doctor gave me a shot of cortisone in the shoulder and I will get another one in December. He wants to try this way before he does surgery again. I am probably looking at one more surgery on my elbow, to take out a bit of the hardware, but he wants to wait at least a year before he does that. So I get to be in pain longer now, fun, fun. NOT. I had my hernia repaired September 19 and on the 20th I fell again. I was staying at Mom's and she was at work. I laid on the floor for about an hour before she got home, I hurt like hell. I called my surgeon and he said that if the staples didn't pop open I was ok, then I called my bone doctor and he called a doctor in Salina where I was staying to check my arm and I didn't rebreak anything. I was so releived. I didn't want to rebreak the arm again. This past 2 weeks I have been in contact with 2 of my high school classmates. It was so good to hear from them again, it has been 18 years since I was in contact with them and then to talk to 2 of them in 2 weeks was exciting. We are talking about the whole class getting together again soon. 18 years between get-togethers is too long. We have lost 2 classmates, and we need to re-connect before we lose anyone else. Well, I need to get this posted. Will be posting another tut shortly.
