Nope, they just said we will book you in for a operation on Thursday and give me a appointment card and put a pot on my arm, it was all very quickly done didn't really get told that much info if im honest which was a bit worrying after seeing the xray !

so I guess ill see whats what on Thursdays and ill have my phone handy for some pictures this time! my missus went to the toilet and had my phone in her bag when I got the pictures of the last xray, hopefully they will let me take a picture of whats going on on Thursday haha

Would be interesting to see :).


I can't imagine the surgery will be too much probably a local and manipulate the breaks so they heal clean. Not sure but I imagine the bones are too small to pin.

They straightened and pinned/plated my shin under a local. In retrospect I wish I'd taken a picture in the op :D. Barely remember it if I'm honest the shock was immense.

Well, had to have my hand re-broken today because all three bones was healing at a 30 degree angle!, then I had a cast put on a more solid one, before I had just half of a cast because of the swelling, all three bones are almost aligned up now but they aren't perfect which is worrying, doesn't hurt much tho only hurt a tad when they yanked on them :p But got an appointment next week got to have another xray and see if they are healing straight and if not then they said they will have to plate them etc.

p.s sorry for the slang its harder than before now to type with this huge pot on my arm lol
