i do not believe its nutritional but i did contact a nutritionist that deals w/ vegetarians since i am more so one since i cant be 100% sure. she doesnt take insurance but mentioned many have low vit. D levels and that could affect things. i made an appt. w/ my primary dr. to see if she could check that level and other levels that may affect bone healing to see. but it might be something out of my control. as a child i ate like other kids, more then they did and the same foods as my brother. noone in my family was a small eater. but he grew up a tall and sturdy german like most my family members and i'm still as big as his left leg.

That's because I am so quick sweeping out the SPAM. Lots of SPAM today, strange weather in the internet. ;)

I haven't been skating for a week now. I was quite OK the last time I have been skating but after my birthday party last Saturday I have been sick from too much left-over cake so I haven't been able to do anything.

Shh! Don't tell anybody! ;-) But thanks for the congratulations!

: And how are your ailments comming along now,,Are you back on the guitar yet?

Guitar playing works pretty nicely. I would say that any botches are to be attributed to lack of excercise rather than to the injury. The hand is not back to normal, however. But my ergo therapist told me that the joint capsules are pretty unforgiving. Anyhow, I am pretty happy to still being able to play the guitar.

Hey that's great! I'd like to be there too. At least I would be able to find my way to Bondi. But Sydney is vast (and Melbs too). Hey, in 2004 I even thought San Diego was a small town!

Give my regards to everyone in Sydney who still remembers this German who didn't skate. ;-)

 i think finger joints are hardest. this time i finally got all my knuckles out of cast yet i still cannot make a full fist. and i had no injury to my hands. but its really only my small fingers that are tightest. of course i was told some of this might be because my arm is still broken. they were fine before surgery tho. i was told by people bones are easy to heal, only 6 weeks. well, not so simple at times. im glad u can do everything u enjoy! thats all that matters.

i hope jay posts here. and i hope by spring i can go back to going on 12 again.

It will require time and training. But since you had no injury to your hand, I am pretty confident that you will regain full mobility soon. The muscles in the hand will take long, however.

: and i had no injury to my hands.

: but its really only my small fingers that are tightest.

My little finger wouldn't budge at all in the root joint at first. Now it's almost as good as the index finger and much better than the ring finger and the middle finger which had fractures in the joints.

: of course i was told some of this might be because my arm is still broken. they were fine before surgery tho.

Yeah, but they stiffen from lack of use. Therefore it is important to move everything that is possible and allowed by the doctor so that it won't stiffen.

: i was told by people bones are easy to heal, only 6 weeks. well, not so simple at times.

Well, it's not easy if you've got a big gap in you bone.

: im glad u can do everything u enjoy! thats all that matters.

That's true.

You should be in a much better state by then.

 i have gotten a little more mobility back in those joints but my dr. mentioned now i will have permanent mobility problems since my arms been broken so long. i am not sure if not using it, i am not permanently losing it at this time.

if my arm dr. doesnt agree to work w/ the knee dr. or doesnt set a date to reoperate AND doesnt let me know more whats going on/gives me choices, etc. i am thinking of seeing another dr. get a 2nd opinion. i am not sure how this works w/ insurance but i need my arm to heal. i believe my body rejected the graft. i wish he gave me choices since i know my body is sensitive/allergic to many things so i know foreign bone may not take so well.

That would be awful. :-((

I had three opinions altogether regarding my knee injury. The first doctor obviously was the wrong choice and he sent me to a famous professor at the university hospital which resulted in another month delay. I did not see this professer, however, but only his deputy who obviously only tried to impress a young female assistant doctor with the knowledge he had read in books. I wasn't sure if this guy ever sewed up a quadriceps tendon himself (torn quadriceps tendons aren't that common). Afterwards I quickly reached the decision that I didn't want to get operated neither by this guy nor by the guy who sent me there and immediately got a date with a small private clinic specialised on orthopedic surgery. At first I didn't want to go there because I hoped I wouldn't need butchering. The Swiss accidence insurance payed every bill.

: i believe my body rejected the graft. i wish he gave me choices since i know my body is sensitive/allergic to many things so i know foreign bone may not take so well.

But you wouldn't react allergic to your own bone? I think the plan is to take a piece of bone from your hip?

i dont understand why the graft died. if by chance it were nutritional, it should still heal but slow. if its from my body, its alive for one, and my body should accept it. its my own "organ" per say. since the graft is all gone i would guess my body rejected it? i am highly sensitive to many chemicals, some foods, environment things so i think the chance my body would react negatively to something from someone elses body might be high. if he communicated with me, i could have told him my background. like i mentioned, i cant even have iodine on my skin as that gave me severe itching and a rash. i think he did a good job with surgery but i am upset now he hasnt given me choices and isnt telling me much. plus if the graft is dead, why am i waiting a whole month for him to operate? he was #2 as the first dr. was going to leave me crippled. i guess he knew i would have problems. like i said, i was never told that breaks could be so difficult otherwise i would have tried to go in lifelong debt to get it looked at immediately.

I think it has nothing to to with an allergic reaction but with the body absorbing unused stuff. It had no static function so it was absorbed. Probably this is even the case with every bone. I think bones are constantly rebuilt and the load on the bones is important for this process. It's one of the reasons why a prolonged stay in zero-gravity is so problematic.

This allergic reaction isn't nice but I also believe it's not really connected to your bone problem.

That's a good question. I think it has to do a lot with the American health system. They should be in a position to do what is best for the patient and not always worry if the insurance will pay. :-(

Don't panic. I think if they put in a piece of bone which connects the loose ends the bone will finally heal. But always remind them of your special needs!

: i guess he knew i would have problems.

That's difficult to judge. I don't know.

 i hope he communicates to me why it didnt heal and does something more. the reason i mentioned allergies is that although it has nothing to do w/ bone, i know noone in this world that has problems w/ iodine. but its usually not an issue except for pre op procedures and tests. of course they thought my allergy wasnt important so i had consequences. so i think i am more prone to reject anything foreign, thats all. i guess i should wait til my drs. tell me something. right now i am doing nothing but worrying if/when they will do something. as i said, longer in the cast may lead to further permanent disability. plus i cant work or have fun now waiting for more surgeries.

I completely agree that they shouldn't let you be waiting. I think the only thing he can tell about your first question is that there was a chance that it would heal without transplanting and therefore they tried if it would.

i agree. i am sure they want to try the least invasive method the best since most everyone would want that. but i still wish i knew more info beforehand because i would have opted for the most effective method the first. i am a very tough girl and want to heal. another scar and a little more pain for a couple weeks means little to me. 5 more months of not sk8n is way more PAINFUL as is losing ability to use my arm fully. pain for me is not pain for normal person, i can handle physical stuff, mental stuff i need to move and have my fun. i am not scared of surgery or pain. being bored out of my mind is worse then being shot or stabbed. i will sit here w/ shooting stabbing pains anyday if it means i will be healthy again.
