L is for leg.
On the 4th of December 2009 my husband, Jason, broke his leg in a wakeboarding accident. He had to have an operation to put a metal plate in his leg which runs from his knee to his ankle with about 10 screws in it or something.
He has been hobbling around on crutches for awhile but got rid of them on Jan 27th.
He is now walking with a bit of a limp but the doctors are amazed at how well he is recovering and are very happy with his progress. He did however get a removable cast on 24th of Dec which was a blessing in disguise. This meant that he could go swimming and have showers a lot easier etc.
God works in wonderful ways!
We have struggled a bit during this time as Jason works for himself and income was kind of low. As well as being over Christmas it made for interesting traveling etc. But we had a lot of support from family and friends and also learnt to strongly rely on God and His promises and we have come out on the better side.
Below is a picture of his break. The big bone has a spiral fracture and the smaller bone was shattered and then shoved together.
(I will try to post updates of his new xrays with the metal plate etc)
I need a huge-eyed emoticon... That break is just awful, it's amazing how well he's healing.
ReplyDeleteI tore my ACL last November wakeboarding. It's a great sport, but geez... it can hurt!
