On Your Crutches!

The results of Liz's fracture X-rays have been confirmed by the specialist as excellent. PTL! There is no sign of the fracture anymore! In fact the doctor got a bit confused as to which side of the pelvis had been fractured as of course both sides are now back to being the same!

This means that Liz has bought a pair of crutches for the slowly does it return to walking. It will be a sort of mix of bed, wheelchair and crutches from now on. The crutches have to be used with all the weight on the right leg at first, just sort of dragging the left one. Then after a few days 10% weight on the left foot and slowly increasing over the coming month. Liz will have to re-learn to walk.

Liz starts her first session of physiotherapy too tomorrow morning. She is obviously going to have lots of sessions to rebuild muscles etc. She also needs work done on her shoulders also painful from the accident.

So we are very grateful to God for the progress. The specialist was really pleased with the bone mending progress. Liz has really stuck to the rules and God has helped her too. Thank you for praying and please don't stop.
