CT scan done, surgery imminent.

I am sitting at a Starbucks killing time before I meet Dr. Frazier with my CT scan images and I want to puke.

I looked at the images of the scan and I am 99% the bone doctor will tell me I need surgery. The fracture occurs almost in the middle of the joint, and there is a significant gap in the bone fragments. I also have a small shard that broke off on the top of my wrist, which explains the swollen lump.

My heart sank. And all I kept thinking in my head was “FUCK, I can’t believe this shit!”. I’ve lost all appetite. The Full Moon 50K is difinitely not happening now. And all this endurance that has taken months to build up will be significantly decreased.

FML.
