I’m still spending some of my time visiting hospitals
at the moment. Either for physio, or doctor’s appointments. I know the NHS gets
a lot of stick in the media, but my experience with the broken collarbone has
been pretty positive. True if I’d seen the shoulder consultant sooner after I’d
broken it - it took 9 days - I might have had the operation sooner, but apart
from that it has all gone smoothly I’m pleased to say. I got to see the new x-ray
today which showed the metalwork now holding my shoulder together, and very
robust it looks. I have setting off metal detectors at airports, every time I
go on holiday, to look forward to now.
The physio can be painful. Today when I explained it
felt ok apart from when you touch the bone in a particular place, I was told it
needed to be de-sensitised, and you do this by touching it! Which he did! Oh
how I jumped, at least I would have done if he hadn’t been holding me down. I
have now been instructed to carry on massaging the bone and the surrounding
area myself, something I am not looking forward to. Inflicting deliberate pain
on myself has never ranked high on my list of favourite things to do, and I don’t
see it making an appearance any time soon.
Yours tentatively.
Jay
