Maura got here without any difficulties and Maegan took off this morning. Had a bunch of x-rays yesterday evening which were particulary uncomfortable due to my multiple injuries ( 5 right sided rib fractures, one left sided rib fracture, T8 vertebral body compression fracture ( about 20-30%), fractured scapula.... the brain stuff doesn't hurt). Also bad a repeat CT scan of the Thoracic spine to reasses the T8 fracture. Maura brought a T-spine brace which will help get me up and about. Currently, the team is talking about med-evac next wednesday with arrival back in Maryland around next Friday.
All in all, feel well if I lie quiet... any significant motion is not much fun. Maura washed my hair and shaved me this afternoon (I was getting pretty groody). I can't seem to get a handle on Pain meds.... I've never had any significant problems and I don't know how much to take or how often. Currently, they won't give my my old standby motrin and I am at a loss as to the conversion factor of Motrin to Percosett or Morphine !!!!
MRI T-Spine tomm am to see if any T-spine instability...( I'm sure there isn't... young ortho doctor!!!!).
I'll try to update regularly.

Bill,
ReplyDeleteThat is an impressive list of injuries, sounds like you are on the fast road to recovery though. It's good to hear you'll be flying back state-side, try not to enjoy that view too much from your current outlook post! I anxiously await the next family reunion. Get well & keep blogging!
Nick

Bill....We are so glad to hear you are OK!.....I don't understand all your injuries, but the fact that you are explaining them....I take as a good sign!
ReplyDeleteI see a Lifetime movie in the near future.... or at least a segment on "Whacked Out Sports".....or maybe part of a Warren Miller documentary...hmmm, lots of possibilities.....
Get well soon and THANK GOD FOR OUR KIDS!
