Let's have a catch up....... a proper catch up

Now that I have had time, to get my head around it all, I can explain some more now of what is happening. 

First off with the upcoming surgery, I need to get myself as healthy as possible, probably a bit late now as surgery will hopefully be very soon. But I have cut out anything sweet like chocolate etc...., next step will be to cut out wheat... which will be this weak sometime. I have been in denial with my food and have avoided the scales again, I have gained approx 15 kilos in about 3 months, goes to show how much shit food I have been eating and take away the exercise and there you have it. I was planning on exercising at home, but that is no more, I dont want to damage my hand anymore than what it is now. 
So for now food is all I can control..... I might not be able to exercise for 12 weeks, but I can control what food goes in my mouth and Low Carb works, just got to start. I will still have fruit though, hey if I have to choose between fruit and chocolate, then fruit wins for now :).

David is on holiday after this week for 2 weeks, am really hopping the surgery can be done then, my specialist is back in clinic today, so really hopping to hear something this week, but to be honest I am not sure how urgent the surgery is. I am hoping sooner rather than later. 

My car is getting repaired, so thats good, though after surgery I cant drive for 6 or so weeks. The person that hit me, has been found, thanks to social media, so all looking good there :). 

I have been watching this new series, have just finished Season 1 of 'The Marvelous Mrs Maisel', and I have just started Season 2, I am loving it, well worth checking it out :) :).

I have decided to use this blog to follow my progress through the surgery and recovery, as there is not really that much info on ruptured tendons in relation to Distal Radius surgery and screws. I have enclosed a couple videos below that hopefully will help better to understand the issue :). 

The top photo is similar to what I have in my wrist from 7 years ago. (This is not my x-ray, but one of the internet).



Below is a couple of videos I put together.... The quality and editing is not that great, next time I will use my camera to video etc.... this was just a bit of a trial :). 


THE SOUND ISN'T TO GOOD, WILL TRY RELOAD IT IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS - SORRY :(




I plan to vlog/blog the whole thing right through to full recovery :).
