Just one more week until The Scan that will confirm the bone has healed! Eight days until the infernal contraption is actually removed! She says she just wants if off and one more day might as well be forever when you live day to day. She only cares about the day when the thing is going to be coming off!
I'm not wearing it, I'm just supporting her but I wish she were more positive. She irrationally fears the doctor won't take it off and that he'll make us come back the next day to see the NP or that the bone isn't healed and she'll have to wear it another four weeks or worse, surgery. It is hard to fight the negative energy.
She seems to think I'm torturing her with the yogurt but she will thank me when the doctor delivers the good news that the bone is well healed and the halo comes off!
Speaking of Bilkmore, six and a half weeks later, they addressed the over billing issues. They stated they gave her nine shots of morphine every 25-30 minutes. They did remove the second collar as a billing error. In rereading the reports on the visits, the 1/5/2009 visit notes the fracture in the x-ray. The 1/29/2009 x-ray notes no such thing so I'm hoping that means the bone was healing on day 46. If that's true, a month later should be significantly healed!
Now, a few pictures for illustration. The two images below are the same pin from above and below. This illustrates the amount of skin bunched above the pin and the skin stretched below the pin. From the above shot, you can barely see any of the unthreaded pin. From the below shot, you can tell that there is less of the pin buried.
