Well got back from the Dr. Got bad news and I have bad news.
Wants to do another x-ray, thinks the lag screw might be 'windshield wippering', due to the bone not covering over the (bursa)head of the screw. If it is, then he'll have to do a hip replacement.
I told him, " that's not an option" and basically said, "that ain't gonna happen!"
Other than that, he was impressed with my hip flexibility...which I haven't been, I'm about as flexible as an iron rod....which makes sense because there is a titanium rod in there...idk.
The scar tissue is still an issue and the cartilage, ligaments and muscle tissues are still reeling from the trauma.
I can walk without the sticks but it really sends shockwaves of pain throughout my leg. And if I only walk a few steps, it takes a week to recover from the damage I self inflicted on my leg.Hopefully in 2 or 3 more weeks, I'll be able to walk unassisted!
The only thing I know for certain is, it's the worse, most complicated break he has seen.
So sorry the appointment didn't go better Sean
At least you're giving your doc a patient to remember.
