Your Prayers are heard

Dear All.

I had my orthopedic surgeon visit today early morning. I was unable to sleep all night. Having no clue how the fracture had healed, was there even more damage, what might the Surgeon say, and thoughts kept coming all night. The Hospital was in Baltimore, so we left early. The entire drive the mind was in a somber mood having no clue what the outcome would be.

We reached before time, filled all the forms and waited to be called. A fellowship Doctor called us, asked lots of questions and said ” we will remove the cast, take an x-ray and see how the fracture has healed will decide what to do next. The way they remove the cast was nerve racking. They asked me to bear my entire weight on the ankle to take x-rays.

We came back and the fellowship Doctor said after he looked at the x-ray the ankle looks like it has healed. Let us wait for the Surgeon to come see you. The surgeon was just awesome. I could see my won Daughter seeing patients when she herself becomes an Orthopedic Surgeon. He looked at the x-ray, asked a few questions, touched my feet and said you ankle has healed. That was the word I was longing to hear, I just cannot explain the feeling. He said ” you don’t need a cast anymore, we will put you on Ankle support, get 6 weeks of Physical therapy and come visit me after 4 weeks.” He also said I would have swelling for the next year or so, but should be my normal in the next 6 months.

It was the word we were waiting to hear. I cannot thank you all for your constant emails, messages and comments. Your prayers were heard. Now to recover and get all the strength into the broken ankle. It was tough days, but it passed. Wanted to keep you all posted, so this short post. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR WISHES, PRAYERS, SUPPORT.
