My Right Patella Recovery

My Tuesday Doctor's Appointment

The doctor's appointment did not go well at all. The doctor did some x-rays and realized that I had re-broken my leg right above the previous fracture that had not healed yet.

Somehow I had also pulled out the wire and pins loose that were holding the kne together. All I know is it was very painful when I called on Monday to make an emergency appointment on Tuesday.

The doctor wanted to wat until Saturday to re-do the surgery but I insistedhe do it on Tursday because there was no way I was going to dibr an hour home just to come again on Saturday. Weekdays are easier to find babysitters anyway.

The doctor has no allowed no movement in my brace and does not want any weight put on my right leg. This sicks becau because I feel like I am lugging around a ton of bricks.

Anyway, that is it for nie
