Guest guest Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 I ended up back at the hospital this morning as my wrist has continued to be very painful, much more so than normal. I saw the ER consultant who was very concerned about the amount swelling, pain and bruising I have - you'd think for all the world I'd fallen onto it. We did some follow up x-rays, but because of the about of soft tissue damage it's still not clear how much damage I've done to the Scaphoid. As a result the consultant has put me in a plaster of Paris cast and wants to check me again on Thursday. Chances are I will end up seeing Mac about this though and I will probably be sent to Orthopaedics and Mac wont let anyone else see me these days. I'm just hoping that I haven't done too much damage as I could really do without long haul plaster or worst still more surgery. Oh well, at least it feels a little more comfortable in the cast now, the only problem is the weight of the POP is pulling on my poor little shoulder - lol, life is never simple is it? I promise to let you know how things go on Thursday - I'm rather naively hoping they will take the plaster off as I'm at my cousin's wedding on Saturday! I'm going to look very stylish crutches, in knee splints, shoulder splint and plaster cast...maybe I could start a whole new fashion trend? NHS orthotics will be the must have accessory this season! Take care everyone and please know I'm thinking of you all. Love and hugs....Jo xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
