Just to let you guys know --- I mentioned last week more problems with the arm thatb was smashed in the accident 2 years ago. Now I have developed a form of abscess at the base of the Left arm, apparently a small sequestrum of bone from the original accident can cause this problem from time to time. I am seeing a new Orthopaedic Surgeon this time, and he commented that these sorts of bone infections "can be rather like cancer" --- they can return from time to time.
So tomorrow I will be going to Wilgers Hospital to have a CT scan and blood tests and see the new surgeon, and I expect I'll need to be admitted tomorrow or the next day, for further surgery. So if I am absent from the forum for some days --- at least you'll know what it's about, and I plan to return asap !
