6 week post cast-off

So, I went to the doctor today for my 6-week post cast off appointment.... After 6 weeks of Physical Therapy, 2 times a week, he took another X-ray and said that he thinks the bone graft is starting to "flatten". Unsure of what this meant, I asked. He said that we will re-assess in another follow up appointment in 6 weeks to re-X-ray. Bottom line - if it appears that the bone graft surgery wasn't successful, they will have to go in and do another bone graft, fusing 2 of the bones together in my wrist with pins or something... followed by another 9 weeks (possibly longer) in a cast!


So he ordered up 6 more weeks of Physical Therapy and rescheduled my appointment for 6 more weeks.

Say a little prayer! I go back for another visit on September 1. (Hopefully to hear some good news!)
