wrist

i was to the doctor the other day to evaluate the progress on my wrist. it is progressing and the metal is attaching well, everything is positioned as it should be. then, the doctor drops the big one and tells me once this all has healed you will require second surgery to remove the metal. lord, i thought i was going to have the big one.

i said to the dr. do i have this right - i fall, shatter my wrist, enter hospital. i am discharged - i am not bionic and i do not have a big chest and now you are telling me this. smucksville

the specialist is to call on wednesday to review and update.

i'll try to keep on the sunny side. at least i was able to have it repaired and i did not have to take out a loan or remortgage the home

it's ok,don't worry,it will be over before you know it

oops, in the process of feeling sorry for myself, i forgot to mention i suffer big time from cts in the right wrist - needless to say there is not any finger snappin or finger poppin time happening here

What a shocker! They should explain these things the first time around, shouldn't they? Did they have an estimate as to when the second operation would be?

You're right, though, it could be worse. You could have re-mortgaged your home for the first operation and then not been able to afford the second one at all.

can you click.snap with your left hand/fingers? Don't need to be glib, ans ure it sucks that they didn'y tell you firs time aroud.. but if need be, hopefully it won't break the bank. Waht happened to the Canadian mecial system?

Well a second surgery sucks but I'm glad you are healing well

also glad you are healing well...

Wow! I'm happy they can fix it, but that's kind of a big bombshell to drop. I don't know much about the Canadian medial insurance system. Will the gov't pay for it? Or do they pay some and you pay some? I hope it won't cost you too much.

under our canadian medical system - all is paid for - because of that i think many drs take advantage of it only to line pockets. mine being of demin - theirs being of silk.

i am progressing- i have to.

Well at least this time it's working in your favor. I'm glad you'll be able to get the care you need.

i also had to have a second surgery a couple of years ago unexpectedly though cause something went wrong.what can you do. it will be fine
