I am being taken to see the consultant down in Alex. My new found parents ( the owners of the backpackers, who have been looking after me) are taken me along with the dog.
Ok so I have not been healed by the hands of god. I have not even been healed by the hands of the physio. The MRI did not show I was being a wimp and need to toughen up. It showed.
• Undisplaced tear of the medial meniscus (surgery)?
• Rupture of the ACL with some increased T2 signal around it (surgery)?
• Extensive bone oedema consistent with bone bruising in the femoral condyles
• Partial tear of the medial collateral ligament
• On the transverse scan there is some T2 signal within the patella, consistent with some bone bruising here also.
But it’s ok the lateral collateral ligament is in one bit. ? The consultant’s words were “well done, you did the lot”. So out the window goes all hope of continuing travelling.
After my insurance spoke with the Dr they have relented and are sending me home. I have to pay £700 for a cattle class seat but they get the fun of picking up the £3500 upgrade cost. So I am getting to be posh for once. So I will be getting home on Tuesday. Not sure where I will be staying because my house is rented so waiting to see if someone will move out. If not I will be knocking on doors. I guess that’s it for this blog. See you all soon I guess.
