Hurrah!
Saw the physio,the 6th one in fact. She wasn't the one I should have seen. My Friday appt had been cancelled because of sickness,so when I phoned in to reschedule,I asked for one who had a particular interest in athritis....... So, she said,tell me what's happened, got me on the couch,requested a leg raise and a couple of other movements. She then said she strongly felt I had a tear in one of the abductor group. I cried, I'm ashamed to say. It was relief that some one else thought something was wrong,it was fear it might not be repaired and I was stuck like this...
So I told her I was seeing the surgeon in a couple of hour's time. Great she said,let's do a letter. So we sat and composed the letter.
Jump forward, I had fears the guy would ignore the information, that repairs weren't done etc etc. The surgeon said okay,let' organise mri and ultra sound. He told me they got in a specialist repair guy from Bath for this kind of stuff. Surgery might not be the answer and fix it, might have to wear a brace,but I can't be worse than I am. He told me all the downsides but he has to do this,but he said it can work as well. He and the repair guy would have to look at scans and see what could be possible.
To my surprise, the next day,in the post I got notification of the 2 scans, they're on the 26th January....about 3 weeks ahead...!
I phoned the physio on Thursday as requested to tell her the outcome of the surgeon appt. She was v pleased,told me to go back on 2 crutches and start working on getting my unbalanced pelvis straight. So I have got an appt with her on the 24th January to look at gait etc. The surgeon had said walk with whatever feels safest and not to fall over....
So, it could be another round of surgery......do I care? Heck,no! If I can walk again, it will be a miracle.......able to go back to work,walk, maybe even climb and if I can't do that,at least I can go to the kids climbing club and help........must try not to get to excited.... have to see what transpires.
