My arm doesn't move as a rigid unit even with this cast/sling thing. That is faintly horrible to feel, intellectually rather than physically. I suspect/hope it will be rigid but mobile after/if they pin it.
07:00. Doctor just came in, I think she is general. Some sort of specialist is going to talk to me about the operation in English at about 10. I think they are going to take a blood sample soonish.
Asked her about losing the arm, felt like a twat but I figured sod it. She was pretty reassuring & at least I am sure this is a post X-ray opinion. I do feel a bit better as a result which is worth feeling like a twat for. Maybe a valuable life lesson there... :-)
19:34.. Just had legs bandaged tightly. Startin in just under an hr. Specialist came in and between hs cell cconversations confirmed I would still have my arm 2row (in hindsight wish had said 'both arms').. Apparently just goin to pin bone and leave nerve (radial?? I can't fully control fingers on left hand) to regenerate on own. Bit sucky but also sounds less intrusive which must be good.
Oscillated between despair (mostly) and hope all day. Moderately +ve now, maybe the blu pill an hr ago helped. Do quite like the idea of having bone fixed mechanically if I don't get infected.
Will be general anaesthetic as I requested. Relief.
May hurt a bit tomorrow but not for too long. (!?) Probably being chucked out 11ish tomorrow, I believe/hope w painkillers and antibiotics.
May have to return 2 uk almost immediately but will judge that 2row I guess. See what dr & insurance say.
This is well incomplete but fk it...
