On Tuesday, I went for my two-week follow-up x-rays status post diagnosis/stabilization. It's actually 4 1/2 weeks status post fracture. In fact today is the five-week mark! Seems more like five months. :-(
They were able to take the x-rays in my chair with the brace on. So that made it easier on me.
The AP view is easier to see for the untrained eye :-). As you can see, it is better aligned than the original x-rays showed. The lateral x-ray is upside down with my patella at the bottom. It also shows good alignment. So needless to say, I was pleased with the results.
Hopefully the bone will continue to heal and show some callus formation on the next x-ray.
Juliet brought me a gift this morning. See below :-)
It's even the left leg on the unfortunate gingerbread man! And yes, I did hear a snap when the fracture occurred.
Juliet reenacting breaking my femur. You can't see it underneath my awesome Blair pants but I have a full-length leg brace on stabilizing that femur.
Thanks Juliet! :-)
Awesome pictures!!! You look dressed up fine today!!
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I noticed is that the gingerbread had a broken LEFT leg too...just like you! Then you pointed that out. :)
ReplyDelete"Oh snap!" is right.
Pass out city.
