She compressed (yes, compressed) the radius 1.5 centimeters, and they had to fill-in the crunched space with 'harvested cadaver bone material' (sounds lovely, huh?), and they put a titanium plate in her wrist with 9 screws. Apparently the x-ray is quite spectacular, and when Mom holds her wrist at a certain angle, you can actually feel the plate. She is as good as new, BTW (although she doesn't race downhill anymore - just Super G, GS and slalom - something about not bouncing as well at 40+ as she did when she was 20...). Mom says to make sure your Mom does ALL the physical therapy - it can be quite painful at times (so says Mom), but she stuck with it for the full 6 months, and has full range of motion. She also now is winning the battle between her and Dad for who has the most surgical screws in their body; Dad only has 8 screws, while Mom has 9. We're hoping they've put an end to THAT competition! We hope your Mom heals well, and quickly. (Our Mom had to write with her left hand for MONTHS....). Take good care of your Mom - and tell her that belly rubs TOTALLY count as rehab exercises! BTW, our Mom ALSO says that while she will ski at stupidly fast speeds, and race cars, and stuff, she won't hurtle herself off a cliff like YOUR Mom did! Personally, I think they're both crazy...<br /><br />*kissey face*<br />-Fiona and Abby the HippobottomusLucy-Fur, as typed by Dr. Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00623314618386797524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331909160889339250.post-85704716709921011802012-07-26T20:12:05.559-04:002012-07-26T20:12:05.559-04:00Oh wow oh wow.
