Meeting with Surgeon

The meeting with the surgeon went well this morn. Scott now feels a sense of relief that something is going to be done to fix his pain. The surgeon basically looked at his xrays and other notes he had. Then gave him an examination poked and proded etc which Scott was totallly sore after but needed to be done so he knew stuff. It turns out Scotts broken collar not healing after so long is a rare thing to occur. The surgeon says by the xrays it looks as if its tried to heal with scar tissue around it. So he has another 40 days off work by the surgeon demands and that doesnt include surgery time. He has to wait till acc clear to give funding since we are going private. so he should be under the knife by end of oct early nov the surgeon said. then takes 8weeks after to heal.
They will have to make a cut by his collar bone and also his hip. take bone from his hip to put with his collarbone and then put a thin plate over top. So yeh it was really good. Surgeon really nice and was great he went over the surgery now too so Scott knew what to expect.

I didnt get to work till like 10am today so felt like a nice short day was great. I was gonna go to the gym but my back is really sore today, then to top it off of smacked my side into a shelf at work before i finished which totally left a big ass bruise and affect my back too. so im bit sore and tender, dumb thing to do eh lol.

Ciao

Cor that's some kind of extreme to go to to fix it but if it's gotta be done. That's like 96 days off work-if it wasnt for the pain of recovery I'd say what a lucky bugger he is lol.
