Four more days left and my daughter's cast will be removed and we would know the results... though I'm pretty confident that with physiotherapy the movement of her hand will be much better...after all the surgery was not to worsen the case but to improve it....( for many of you may not notice anything at all with her left hand but there's a slight twist in her left arm for which she was operated)....for an outsider not noticing her hands at all and before surgery was all "natural recovery" and she compensated well....she has enough strength in her hand overall....
After she was discharged from the hospital I didn't know what to do if she complained of pain or how she will manage with the cast for 3 weeks...My heart used to beat fast all the time because I had no means to pacify her..Felt helpless..and this Spica cast is different...its like a wrap-a-round around her chest and another cast on her left arm and these two has been supported with a wood and her hand has been kept straight for the last 3 weeks...the five centimeter incission has been done just below the shoulder at the back....Difficult! Still find it hard to digest.
But I'm glad God gave me the courage and strength to face it all and I'm finally here. Thank you all for your prayers and wishes. Believe me it was tough!
And that reminds me of a Swedish Proverb " Fear less, hope more. Eat less, chew more. Whine less, breathe more. Talk less, say more. Hate less, love more..And all good things are yours"!
