Well I had my appointment at Greenlane today.
Unfortunately the news wasn't good. The Doc who did the x-ray came out and said, "You really did a job on that, didn't you..?
The specialist said, and showed us on the x-rays and CT scans, that the bone has compacted further and I am now borderline for an operation. One big problem is that I have Osteoporosis so the bones are soft and it's not healing and is getting further out of alignment. If I do have to have the op it'll be a major one as they'll have to go through front and back.
He tested my feeling and reflexes in my legs and said if I get any numbness I have to Ambo straight to Emergency. Fortunately ACC are paying for my monitor which includes free Ambulance if I need one.
So I'm resting more, going slower and Jill's just got home from the Pharmacy with a Calcium plus supplement for bones. I'm hoping that with extra rest and the Calcium I may avoid an operation. Faint hope, but I really don't want to go under the knife if I can avoid it. My poor darling was in tears when he spoke about the operation.
Still, I'm alive and it could have been worse, so chin up, eh?

Not the best news eh Ed?
Everything crossed here for ya mate.
You be sure to sing out if theres anything, and I mean anything, we can do.
The operation sounds the pits to be honest but look, you have your faith/family and most importantly....life.
Totally Kwakas!
crap. Yes there could be worse news, trust me on this one. It's not what I would wish on anyone tho.

Thanks, I do count my blessings esp my wife. And friends have rallied around and are providing evening meals for us so Jill doesn't have to come home from work tired and still cook dinner. I'm really being spoiled rotten and don't deserve the level of love, care and support I'm getting, but it sure makes a difference!
I believe that every situation has a positive side and while my situation sucks somewhat, there have been some good things come out of it. It has brought out the very best in many friends and our family is even closer now. My attitude and approach to work has changed for the better and did I mention I've lost a lot of weight...?

That is not such good news, Ed...pm sent!

Hey Mr. Ed. I was about to text you too to see how the appointment went today.
Sorry to hear of what the doctors told you. But as you say, there is still hope that you may be able to heal and avoid the operation. Sounds like a biggie, and a rather scary one at that. So we are all crossing our fingers for you and the best possible outcome from this situation. It seems that only time will tell on this one and I can imagine it must be very testing having to just wait it out, see how you heal. But it could have been much worse, and you seem to have such wonderful support and love around you. You do deserve it, and we will all be so happy to see you get through this in the long run.
So my friend, it's back to feet up, and lapping up the love, help and attention you are receiving. You have a wonderful attitude, and it's lovely to hear of someone who appreciates what they do have, in a world that seems too self absorbed most days to notice.

Not sure, it'll be a surprise. Monday was steak and Guiness pie, with a whole can of Guiness in it...Thats a lot of positives there Ed...

OWNED!
Oh Eddy Bear....
That's not good news at all...we all have our fingers and toes crossed for you here and will send you positive thoughts each day.
The upside is (although I hate this has happened to you) we are still reading your posts and watching your progress.
Take care young man!
Your picture's in my wallet and I'm sitting on it. And if that isn't love, I don't know what is
Whip it, whip it good!
Well that sucks Ed! Rest, rest and more rest for you. My ex's Mother had a fracture that would not heal, we ended up getting a silica and shark cartlidge supplement from the health food shop for her, the bone did eventually mend, albeit slowly. Vitamin C is also good for healing.
I know you will take the advice of your specialist and have that surgery if you need to have it, no point in risking further unrepairable damage afterall.
Love to you and Jill, lets hope that you are about to turn a corner in the healing process and the next visit to the specialist will confirm you are getting better.

I like the young man bit...And I'll try to annoy everyone by continuing to post nonsense on KB for as long as I can. As long as I can see and type I can work and play, eh?

Thanks love, I have to see the surgeon next week to see what he thinks. Don't know what day yet, but it's not looking too positive. Meantime we're looking up what we can do to help bone healing and there are a few supplements we can take. The calcium tablets Jill got today include most things we've learned about. Jill talked to the Chemist who was up to play with the natural stuff, so it's got Vit. D3 etc. It's a complete bone care supplement from Clinicians.

Easy for me to say but 'chin-up' - try and keep a positive outlook, things could be worse - like you could be a KB moderator.....!!!

Yeah, take as much of that sort of thing as you can, wont hurt, may even help. I really hope you wont need surgery Ed, but better that than a permanent injury.
Still you skinny thang, keep looking for the positive. I am sending you both an enormous dollop of happy, radiant, healing love. It better work!
