more surgery
: i went to the ortho today. no healing, 4 months. because there wasnt enough bone in my arm to stimulate healing. lost a lot of bone since fragments died from waiting to get it fixed. so surgery nov. 13th. they will take bone from my hip and put in my arm, then implant a bone stimulator and hopefully in 3-4 months it will heal. then i will get the stimulator surgically removed. i will be in the hospital after surgery. if this doesnt work, options are bad. :-( but it will heal this time right? its my own bone. also my vit. D is on the low side so mega supplementing that now to get in the range healthiest for bones. i take it but some people need a lot more. if you havent, get it tested so noone here has weak bones later.

: pray for me please!!! i need it......
: i took a pic of my forearm but it is looking pretty ugly, ew.... no more muscle really.

Well, now you're like the NYC supermodels!
Hang in there, we're all rooting for you. You win for toughness, tolerance and surely, patience. You'll also succeed in returning from the most serious of injuries. Stay up and know that positive, healing witchy-poo vibes are all headed your way.

thank you both! i'm going to try to think positively. i will tell the dr. if he needs to take from both sides of my hip to fill the gap, go ahead! this has to work. we dont need the iliac crest but i do need my arms and legs. i cant think of this. i've been up since 3 am. i will be OK. i hope to be out of cast by Feb. or March! i hope to roll easy by summer. i cant chance that either. if the screws start to losen, thats it my dr. said. i didnt know. i think hes trying to scare me so i coorperate well. its working.

 thank you so much! positive vibes help. ;-D i'm sure the dr. will do a good job. he did last time. if he can fill in the gap with enough bone, it will heal. the problem is bone doesnt heal if the gap is too big. i hope i wont be in the hospital long and walking around ok soon after too. being sedentary is driving me nutso lol.

hahaha! except, where are the boobs? ;-P

patience, patience? lol, i still dont understand that word. ask Bernhard. i think he and others might say i'm struggling lol. considering, i'm proud i'm trying hard. i wish i got a metal after surgery. after all, everyone that finishes a marathon does. i think this is harder then a marathon!

i think so. its my own bone. all i need to heal is for bone to be near other bone. thats the reason why it didnt heal. i never thought i would be crippled for a full YEAR, ouch! i hope it works. if not i hope the prothetics work for bike riding too. i know you can play basketball w/ them but i'm too tiny to be of use 1 to 1 w/ the big dudes. honestly i'm terrified, not of surgery, of the waiting and fearing it wont work.

thanks irene, ur a sweetie! can i borrow a few parts for an hour lol? ;-D sometimes i have to cheat and roll a touch in the kitchen, opps lol.
