A couple of nights after the brace was put on and the nice night's sleep with Mr Surgeon Man's prescription for diazepam I was out of hospital, and the next 7 weeks basically followed a pretty structured pattern:
- Go see Little Miss Radiology or one of her associates on a Wednesday
- Go see Mr Surgeon Man at the fracture clinic to analyse Little Miss Radiology's pictures
- Renew my co-codamol and tramadol prescriptions
- Carry on my day and return the following Wednesday
However, by week 7, with no signs of unison were visible in the fracture area, I guess fixing a
broken humerus is harder than originally anticipated... surgery is scheduled for June 6th (a full 9 and a half weeks after the initial break) to insert a titanium plate into my arm. The parts are ordered, I have some pre-surgery tests for infections, that sort of thing and sent on my way, to return first thing on the Monday morning to finally get this sorted!
Hurrah!
Post-script edit:
My broken humerus was sure causing some funky bruising in my lower arm during those 6 weeks:
