In exactly three weeks from now, I have my next CAT scan. I don't think I've ever looked forward to a day more than this one, not even my birthday and THAT'S saying something.
There's a chance that I might have to wear the brace for a few more months, there's a chance I might need surgery, there's also a chance that I'm A-OK and I need to start physiotherapy so I can get back to living the life a 27 year (1450 weeks) old should be living.
I'm pretty sure that my fractures have already healed a 100% since it's been almost 12 weeks since the accident. As per the internet, fractures heal in 8-12 weeks so by the time I get the CT scan, it would've been 15 weeks(seems quite short out of the 1450 weeks that I've been on this planet). The question is, will the unstable and dislocated C2 have formed some sort of a connection with C3 and healed or started healing like all normal fractures or is it just hanging there like it was 12 weeks ago? I have a strong feeling that everything is going to be just fineee! #GoodVibesOnly
As per my Neurosurgeon, there's apparently no medicine for a fracture and all I can do is take some supplements, rest and wait for something amazing to happen inside. I am still taking some homeopathic medicine which is for "bone knitting" and that's exactly what I need.
I'll be very upset if I get to know I still need surgery. It was my decision to go the conservative route and I have no one to blame but I can't imagine going for surgery after 15 weeks of this and then another 6 weeks of post-op recovery. But I'm going to trust my gut for now and pray that my decision was the right decision.
Also,I love how the human body operates. It really is unbelievable.
