I got the “All Clear” from my doctor to go back to work!
I didn’t even get in trouble for taking out my own staples (though the nurse did give me a weird sideways look).
I couldn’t resist taking a sneaky picture of today’s X-ray. You can’t see it, but where the bridge was, there are now holes running down my middle metatarsal and my radius. My arm-bones look like a flute!
There were never any guarantees that I was going to be able to work again. While I still have a lot of rehab work to do, I’m so, so grateful that this hoped-for result is the one I ended up with, and for all the people who took such adoring care of me.
It’d be easy to join the “2016 sucked!” bandwagon because of my accident, but I’m far too aware of all the blessings that would be overlooking.
Thank you.
