diagnosis and advice

2005-02-17 15:04:40 | ノンジャンル
Today I went to see my orthopedic surgeon. I got my left ankle X-rayed. It has three weeks since I broke my left ankle and I feel the pain is eased and even passing away. Therefore I was sure that he would say, "All right, you'd better walk if you do not have a severe pain there. Now it is the time you need to recover your muscles by walking.. "

On the contrary he said, "Your bone is now beginning to set. You may walk only when it is absolutely necessary for you to move. Don't walk, if possible. " His words bitterly disappointed me. I didn't feel appetite for lunch. But I am now all right. I say to myself, "Don't complain about it, karin. Be patient until your bone is completely set. Make haste slowly Believe your doctor. OK?"

Dear icyisamu-san,

It's so kind of you to tell me about your experience. I will follow my doctor's advice. As I've never had any bone broken before, I am afraid how it will go. It's my bad point that I am liable to doubt doctors. (^^ゞ

Thank you for your thoughtful message.

diagnosis 大変でしたね。
あんまり気落ちしないでたくさん召し上がってください。
doctorの言葉、もう少し優しくいってほしいですね。でも完全に治りましたら、今までどおり山行きが出来そうなので頑張ってください。
