Well, the MRI results are in. It is not broken. Here is the official diagnosis… “Tears involving the triangle fibrocartilage complex within the substance of the complex as well as the radial and ulnar attachment with fluid extending from the radiocarpal interval into the distal radioulnar joint. There is suspicion for disruption of the lunotriquetral ligament.”
Ummm…. well, I can’t interpret that, but I can tell you it is bad. It is worse than broken. This will most likely require surgery to repair ligaments and/or other things.
For those of you who were with me 6 years ago, when I had my shoulder surgery, you will remember I wasn’t scared back then. Nervous yes, but not scared. I had no reason to be scared. It was a simple non-invasive surgery… and then I woke up with Jeremy sitting next to me worried as can be. I was supposed to be out only 2 hours and didn’t wake up for almost 12. Even then, they had a hard time waking me up every once in a while that night. I’d had a bad reaction to the anesthetic and the nurses said they weren’t even sure I was going to wake up.
Now, I most likely need another surgery. This time, I’m scared… very, very scared.
My next dr’s appointment is with a hand specialist on Monday. Thank you to all of you who are praying for me. I appreciate them so very much.
