I have been gradually getting better, but also being frustrated with the slowness of the recovery. I started Physiotherapy at last, just after Christmas and I'm already seeing the benefits.
Had to go to town yesterday, saw the surgeon in the morning, WOW I was beat up on the fall, I kept saying "I didn't know that, didn't know that" and he was saying "I told you while you were in hospital" Yeah, well I guess I was out of it more that I knew.
I didn't actually know I had broken my shoulder blade, as well as my collar bone until the physio told me, but saw the pics yesterday. He showed me the scan they did, that I don't remember being done, a slice by slice thing down through the body, and we counted at least 8 breaks and fractures on the ribs, some displaced, some fixed. The lung was actually well collapsed, and they were worried about dark spots on it, seems like they were quite worried about me for a while. He says I should be grateful for the recovery I have got, he thinks I am doing very well.
Oh and as a by the by, the CT scan I had back in November to check for progress on the ribs etc, showed nodules on my adrenal glands, which they think are just benign, but now we know they are there we can keep an eye on them.
I have ridden twice since the accident, had my first lesson last Sunday, and managed to walk and trot which was a good feeling, everything is coming back slowly. I am still kind of bent to one side, I am hoping that with Cassie yelling at me while I'm riding, and the physio working on me and giving me exercises to do that I will end up straight again. :wink:
