OFF TOPIC : I ask a favor.

 

Hi friends,

As some of you may know I had an accident a few weeks ago. Recovery for my head, eyes, and arm is going better than the doctors anticipated. I took some x-rays of my hip yesterday, to make sure everything is healed well, so that I can start therapy to stand again. I just got a call from the surgeon. He actually passed off a surgery to another doctor so that he can personally talk to me, not his secretary or assistant surgeon. He'd been combing the hospital for me all morning, and is surprised that I'm at home. They initially thought I may have a fracture. It turns out that my femur (upper leg) is badly broken on the outside, the inside, and across the hip. They couldn't see it earlier because of the immense swelling. Ordinarily he'd put several screws in, I'd be admitted for several weeks, then months of intense therapy. However, there's an issue. Due to the seriousness of it, he could not tell me what it is over the phone. He has a surgery at 8am tomorrow, so he wants me to go to the hospital and just go straight to his clinic before 7am. It's imperative that he speaks to me ASAP. I'm trying to take it in a positive way, but I'm honestly a little worried.

 

The Favor: I don't need you to write anything, say a prayer, or anything like that. Just, as you read this, please wish me luck. Positive wishes from positive, good-hearted people like yourself, would REALLY help me out. Thanks.

Wow.  Good luck man.

@2cool4u_1 Shit, I have no experience or expertise with regards to this to know how serious things might be, but I wish you all the best luck. Hope the urgency is because they can help you out.

Taking her drunk friend back to the hotel

Several of the early pics are glitched out and didn't upload right, so we're left wondering if:  A- the dude was the drunk friend  B- drunk friend ran into some dude on the way back, and she handed her off, or C- she hooked up on the way back, and drunk friend found her own way back.

Lol. I'll try uploading them again ?

@2cool4u_1 Best of luck Brother.

Try not to worry too much, everything will work out fine.

 

 

[erplederp]

@2cool4u_1 Fingers crossed, my friend!?

[R-Lo]

@2cool4u_1

I feel for you and although it's gonna be tough, I hope you can sleep well tonight in preparation, 

I'm hoping this is some good urgent news and that anything bad is non existant old news, 

 

Stay strong and we are rooting for you!

Trying out some poses with the new beaches and such.

@mrrakkonn @B10HAZARD. @snowdog04 @YourFalseHope @porkybork @erplederp @R-Lo Thanks guys. I feel slightly better already. Your good thoughts helped me find a positive aspect in this. The eye surgeon said I took a really hard hit to the head (luckily I can be very hard-headed?). So I guess I'm glad my hip / leg is in bad shape, because it took most of the impact instead of my head, otherwise it would be a lot worse.

[Julie J]

Thanks @R-Lo - Once Wicked Whims is updated my game will be almost if not better than it was before

Good luck @2cool4u_1- Hope all goes well

 

One more pic from Island Living

 

Also Nick bumped into his mum (She's the Police Chief) on Sunali Island. She's working on a murder case there.

Hey dude -

 

I'm SO SORRY to hear what's happened to you!  I sincerely hope whatever the doctor has to tell you is exactly what you're hoping to hear.  The VERY BEST luck to you.

Thanks. I appreciate it. Here's some pics to compliment yours, though not as good. (The plumbobs are purposely shown to indicate human or mermaid, even though it's not necessary in this case).

@angiebaby23 Thank you.

[2cool4u_1]

Just want to thank everyone again. It really helped me emotionally (and I think physically). Here's the outcome of my meeting, for those that are interested.

 

Spoiler

The Negative;

My leg is a bit of a mess, and you can see it by looking at the x-rays. Aside from being broken in a few places, it has several fractures, and "needs" a plate with screws. Unfortunately, the surgeon believes that performing such an operation would cause my bones to break apart / crumble, because of all the breaks and fractures. There are a few other complications (he only told me one), but either way he classifies the surgery as having a low success rate with high risk. He would not accept doing such surgery.

 

The Positive;

The reason for his urgency is that I somehow (to his amazement --why he expected me to be in hospital) managed to keep it mostly in place (there is a very slight misplacement). He needs me to make sure I continue to do so. After conferring with my doctor, and another surgeon, he believes there is a decent chance that it can heal as it is. It's not likely, but if I'm able to keep it as is, I may be able to skip surgery. How usable it is afterwards is unknown, but insignificant compared to the first part. So we decided to monitor it every 3 weeks until it's healed (about 6 months), and see how it goes from there. I'm really glad that was not my head!

@2cool4u_1: I'm really sorry to hear this. I will sent my prayers above and wish you all the best (more than I can express). Just undergo it and also lay faith in the competent hands of the surgeon. It's all you can do for now. Just know that a lot of people here are thinking about you. Lots of hugs!

 

Edit: That's and a relief and also very stressful at the same time. I keep my fingers crossed for you.

[Guest]

@2cool4u_1 Get well soon man. Sorry to hear about your situation.

yay cant wait for you to post it with the animations ❤️

2 done so far and 4 more to go! 

Im having to track the movement by eye and record every frame by hand one at a time, 

And each clip is around 36 seconds long lol

 

It's not so bad to work with but tricky to apply to existing animations ?

[angiebaby23]

@2cool4u_1 I'm sorry the surgeon didn't have better news for you, but I'm glad it wasn't worse, too.  Take care of yourself and heal up well!

This may be helpful to some people with the new island living ep.

EVERYBODY. I really, really needed your support, otherwise I wouldn't have said anything. I don't want to hijack this thread with sympathies, especially if I don't need it. The way I choose to look at it; The surgeon said I may be able to opt out of having a really bad surgery. That's great news.

 

 

The 1^st glass is full (of water).

The 2^nd glass is full (half water, half air).

The 3^rd glass is full of air.

No matter what happens, the glass is always full. You just have to look for it. Pessimists always see only the negatives. Who wants nothing but bad news all the time? So why take the negatives when you can have all the positives? I'd rather have nothing but good news each day. That's my choice. What's yours?

[snowdog04]

@2cool4u_1

Glad to hear the (relatively) good news.  Sounds like you have a long recovery ahead of you though.  Also, here's hoping you can avoid getting addicted to the pain meds.

Hey thanks for the update, although there is that downside I'm happy that it's being anticipated and not having you experience more pain if surgery did go ahead, 

 

The body is a remarkable thing and capable of immense healing, the key thing is positive thought and faith in yourself and family, 

A family member of mine went to Iraq and was injured real bad and was told he'd be wheelchair bound, a couple of years later he was down on one knee proposing to his girl and dancing at the wedding, 

 

I won't go all religious or voodoo on you lol but I do believe that strength of your heart and soul goes a long way and the recovery is tough but the pain of physio etc does pay off for sure and I hope that you will be given some options there, 

 

Well done for getting through today and I hope that you're treating yourself tonight ??

Look after yourself 2cool4u_1

Yes, but not right at this moment, and she's not quite done yet. But I can PM her to you when I get the chance (which will be before I put together the download, which requires a bit more work). 

That PM would be very helpful ?
