Oh dear Kim, that really stinks! Perhaps Hipster is being overly cautious, but has your best interest at heart? You have every right to be really upset, as it gets one's mind going a mile a minute worrying about why now for another CT scan? Did he tell you when you could have the CT scan?
I am like you and might want to overthink that the plastic surgeon looked at the x-rays and CT scans on Thursday and may have discussed with Hipster. I doubt very much a plastic surgeon would see something that an OS would miss. Perhaps the plastic surgeon thought it would be prudent to do one more check on the fracture and healing?Maybe it is he who is being overly cautious?
This last minute extra CT is hard to take. I can only imagine how much you want to have this all OVER so you can get on with your life. It has been going on for such a long time for you, not including the time your hips were going down hill and limiting your lifestyle.
I'll never forget when I got a message from my OS wanting to discuss my bilateral anterior surgery, TWO days before the surgical date. It put such dread in the pit of my stomach, and after the conversation, how frustrated I was that I had to switch over, although I knew it was in my best interest. I really feel for you
. Sending you a huge cyber hug and tons of positive thoughts

Please keep us posted on when you will be having the CT, and know we are all here to see you through whatever next week has to hold
