So after much delay and multiple tantrums I finally got the answer about my leg. It's not exactly what I wanted to hear, but I have the worse and best case scenario facts. That said it was a struggle to get the whole story and I really don't like having to stamp my feet and yell before these are offered on an intellectual equal basis. But that's a row for another day.
For none of this gives me the not so quick fix it want and needed. After 4 months of being limited by fiberglass and pain, I've had it spelt out to me that it's going to be a long slow battle and I maybe only a third of the way through it. In reality I may still be in plaster till June and almost certainly in an airboot till the full 12 months are up. The only consolation I have from all this is the fact that even if I had agreed to the operation everyone was so keen on the length of healing time would be no shorter and quite possibly longer. That's not even taking any possible complications I may have had into consideration.
So the reality of this is if you break 3 bones in your leg in a complicated fashion like I did nothing is going to speed up the healing not even surgery. Personally I am little depressed by this fact as I have already been knocked back years with my back recovery and every week this goes on for drags me down further.
But what can I do? It is clinical fact and only nature can take its chosen course. I'm just along for the ride.
