Chock Part IX

Frontpage

I’m still in the hospital, but conditionally online again. If everything works out well I will execute the escape plan still this week ;-)

I am quite glad that the shinbone fracture is treated conventionally, i.e. no additional screws, nails or other titanic parts are built in my body.
With a set of screws in my neck and medication pump in my belly, with tube and needle in the back, I feel a little bit like “Seven of Nine” of Star Trek anyway.
The usual treatment of a broken leg is simple, plaster from toe to comfort zone, wait for six weeks and see what has happened.
The whole situation is for a wheelchair user a bit inconvenient, and the daily routine with a leg in plaster is hardly imaginable.
Basically another wheelchair is required in which the leg can be stretched as well to prevent swelling.
At the thought of a different wheelchair I already get toothache.
With outstretched leg I hardly fit on my platform lifter to reach my flat in the first floor, transfer to bed, etc. etc. etc…
It was decided to make an orthosis for me. For this, a plaster cast of the leg is made and plastic splints type “Run Forest Run” fabricated. Because this orthosis is only reaching the knee, the leg can be bent nevertheless. It “just” has to be cushioned, but I am already introducing it, the

Blue Lionpard

Ok, I can’t fully compete with the appearance of “Seven of Nine“!

What a cheek, that plaster leg filling guy wanted to paste a sticker from the rivalling football club inside of the orthosis.

    Gott sei Dank habe ich Dein Beinchen die Tage gesehen. Das erste Foto hat nämlich so einen blöden Winkel, dass es aussieht, als hättest Du ein Bein wie ein Golum…
    Weiterhin gute Besserung und net so viel Drogen… BrĂĽderchen… Gell!?

    Tina:
    Was heißt hier Seven-of-Nine? Sieht eher so aus, als hättest Du das Bein von C3PO geliehen :-)

    Sieh an und ich hab mich schon gewundert, wo Du auf der Rehacare bleibst.
    Zum laufen brauchst Du Dein Bein ja eh nicht, trotzdem auf das es wieder zusammen wächst.
    Liebe GrĂĽĂźe JĂĽrgen
