Tim had a doctor appointment on Wednesday for his foot. This was just to do another set of X-rays to see how the healing process was going. Well, it turns out that it's not going well. Tim's fracture is worse again! This time the fracture extends farther into the bone in his foot. The positive thing is that the fracture is not wider. We're not sure how this happened since Tim has been relatively pain-free and has done a decent job of staying off his foot, using the crutches, etc. Since our insurance will not pay for the bone growth stimulator until there has not been significant progress for 90 days, there isn't much we can do right now except wait. So we'll wait! And hopefully when Tim goes back in about a month things are looking better. We were sure hoping that there was healing already since this type of fracture takes so long to heal. Our goal is to have Tim's foot healed by the time our new baby joins us at the end of January. We'll be pretty close on that time frame with the way things are going now, so we'll just wait and see.
I also have a new doctor now. I was really unhappy with how things went at my last appointment, so I finally made the decision to look elsewhere for OB care. I have an appointment next Friday with a regular family physician who specializes in OB care for her medical group. Everything has gone really smoothly with this pregnancy, so there is no special reason she shouldn't be able to provide care for me. We're all hoping and praying that she's a better fit for us. It's hard enough being relatively alone all the way out here in CA, so I feel like I really need a doctor I'm comfortable with who I can trust with my health and the health of our baby.
Please, would you take a moment and say a prayer for Tim's foot and my new doctor?!
