She finally had surgery yesterday (Tuesday) but its not over yet! They managed to "fix" her bones but she will need another OP on Friday to put the metal rods in! I just hope she is in and out quickly and not kept waiting around and starving again! I'm at home all today waiting for her zimmer frame to be delivered here, so its ready when she finally comes home. She was laughing and joking when she told us about the nurse asking whether she wanted a 4 leg zimmer or 2 leg and wheels "WHEELS please" she said with a cheesy grin but I really don't know how she is feeling about it. She has always been alittle quirky and does'nt like to follow current trends but she is still a little conscience of the way she looks esp. as she is quite tall at 5'10" and now she will be restricted to using a zimmer frame for a while, shes not the exhibitionist type and won't enjoy extra attention. Hopefully she won't need it for long. I'm off to visit her tonight, I'm sure she will be feeling better with some food in her belly and her ankle bones are "fixed". |
