I've been too busy to post about work of late but this pic is quite amazing and worth sharing.
I've been looking after this patient pre- and post-op (check put those screws on the heel bone) to help all the bits of the body that have been working hard with an altered gait; altered centre of gravity; and now wearing a huge orthopaedic boot and hobbling about on crutches - hips, other foot and ankle, low back and now shoulders and neck.
They've shown such bravery in the face of pain and inconvenience. I wish I had a magic wand sometimes to speed patients through their recovery - this lovely one would definitely get a swoosh. In its absence though I hope all the hands-on care and cheering on from the side lines does the trick. There has been such improvement already. The body is a healing machine if it has the chance.
