Good News

Our visit with Sharkbytes ended with Sylvia and our guest attending our church’s Mother/Daughter banquet.  Sharkbytes was the featured speaker and everyone loved the program.

Sylvia observed Mother’s Day with our son and daughter-in-law.  Good food and good conversation.  It was a most enjoyable day for both of us.

On Monday, we were back at the orthopedist’s office.  We were in dread after the doctor’s telephone conversation on Friday.

After a round of questions from a nurse, the physician’s assistant came in and showed us the images from the C-T scan as she explained what we were seeing.  Obvious signs of healing were evident.  The displacement is visible in the images, but should be no hindrance to healing or life thereafter.  Sylvia has only one limitation for now, “Don’t lift anything heavy–like a full gallon of milk.”

We left feeling a lot lighter and with hope and optimism in our hearts.  Happy campers.

We’ll go back in three weeks to have the cast removed and more X-rays to see how healing is progressing.  If necessary, they’ll give her a wrist brace that is secured by Velcro.

  1. Glad to hear all went well with your friend speaking, and with Sylvia’s doctor’s report! :yea:

  2. Hooray! I’m glad to hear good news about Sylvia’s arm. I hope that darn cast comes off soon.

    That was GREAT to have Sharkey speak at your event. Again…I wish I was closer to join in all of this fun.

    • As I wrote in the last paragraph, that pretty blue cast comes off in three weeks. Sylvia can hardly wait.

      We wish you were closer too.

  3. That is EXCELLENT! I couldn’t imagine how someone as healthy as Sylvia who was actually good about not using the arm could be not healing.

    • As you know, we were very concerned. Or in the words of the commercial, “Oh what a relief it is.” :frolic:
