| Broken Bones
After hobbling about for a while on what I thought was a sprained ankle, I cashed in on the x-ray and ortho referral yesterday, and the x-rays revealed a fracture of my tibia down near my ankle joint.
So the prognosis is that I'll be in a cast for 6 weeks, although I've found some information that suggests along with the usual diabetic notoriety of slow-healing wounds, bones can be slow to mend as well.
I'm doing my best to maintain tight control, here are my latest meter averages:
* last 7 days = 117 mg/dl
* last 14 days = 117 mg/dl
* last 30 days = 124 mg/dl
* last 60 days = 126 mg/dl
* last 90 days = 126 mg/dl
I've got a followup at the ortho next week to do x-rays and check on early progress. I don't know what the ortho's going to recommend after that, but I'm thinking that I should ask for another followup 2 weeks after that, so if the fracture is going to be slow to heal, it will be known.
Aye yi yi. I really hope that I can be walking again before my birthday. |
