Orthopedic Visit

Made it to Mayo & back -- yay. The Orthopedic doctor thinks it's all soft tissue issues. There is a little chip of bone, but he is not concerned about that. I don't have a fracture that requires a plate & screws, cast, etc. Whew. Possible ligament issue at my left thumb, but he can't tell for sure until my abrasions heal. He thinks I have miraculously escaped something terrible happening! I could have severed a nerve or tendon, or broken a bone requiring fixation. Wow -- I guess I am lucky! He will take the stitches out in a week, and I am to take it easy with my left hand for a while. I am to continue with the antibiotics a bit longer. Ugh, but I will hammer through. Actually, I am wearing a motion sickness patch behind my ear, and that has helped ease the nausea somewhat. Can't wait to be feeling good again! Ironically, some of the abrasions have been quite painful all of a sudden. Hopefully they will heal soon. 🙏🤞En savoir plus
