...................I found out last week that i have had a broken wrist for 6 years!!! Happy days!
I injured my wrist about 6 years ago and, at the time, thought it was just a sprain so didn't do anything about it. Throughout the 6 years I have had pain after using the wrist for things like washing my motorbike and decorating, cutting the lawn etc. So, as I had paid all my excess to the private health cover i get through work on my cornea graft, I thought i would get referred private to get them to look at my wrist. After xray and mri scan a broken scaphoid was diagnosed.
I have an appointment to discuss options with the best hand and wrist surgeon in Yorkshire. He is pretty sure only option will be to have a bone graft as it is such an old break!! Wonderful eh.
How the hell am i gonna be able to put my eye drops in with a wrist that has just had a bone graft? Oh - and i have to have a camera down my throat but thats another story!!
Great year so far eh. This must be the medical year in my life.
