Well it's been over 2½ years and 18 Op's since i had my accident and i have found out this morning that hardly any of them have worked!!
2 weeks ago i had a Tomogram (ancient CT scan) to see how my bones were healing/knitting, apparently i couldnt have a CT scan due to the amount of metal in my leg LOL and it would cause lots of reflections etc!
Today i got the results of the tomogram, and they couldnt of been worse, basically, the last 18 months (ish) of recovery have been a waste of time, as no bones have knitted to any others!
What this means is i have to undergo a quite big op again asap to put artificial bone around my femur (thigh bone) to strenghen it up again also, my surgeon wants to put some stuff in there to make it harden quicker (I did laugh and say i didnt want any viagra, he didnt think it was funny :) )but i cant remember what its called.
Soooooooo, basically, im now on the Urgent list for surgery, so, anything in the next 3 years then i guess!!! :(
