Sarah's Injuries

[nogaromill998]

Poor old Sarah has FINALLY had her op on her shoulder ! She now has a plate along the full length of her collarbone, a bone graft, and repositioning of the ligaments that hold her arm in place. The surgeon said he'd never seen such devastation and had he known, it would have been treated as an emergency procedure...still, 7 months wait isnt too long.....yeah right....anyway I'm sure she'd appreciate a 'Hello' from any fellow DD'ers, as she's feeling pretty low at the mo.......

OUCH

Real bugger for her, but glad it's finally getting sorted.

Huge hugs (gentle ones) from me to a brave lady... hope you get well soon missus and make sure you get well pampered ;)

[Chaz]

GWS - ouch - don't think we've met ..... - but the op sounds major so the crash must have been big

Suggest a recovery diet of white Belgian Chocs, fizz (if you're allowed...) & Heinz Chicken soup - my wife swears by it!!

[skidlids]

Sarah here's hoping its been a very successful op and that the recovery is speedy and trouble free

[Imola Duke]

Get well soon Sarah, Hope to see you back out there asap :)

Hi Sarah we've never met but through the 'DD family' I feel I know you....

Best of luck and here's hoping the recovery is a hell of a lot quicker than the wait for the op'.

See you in the paddock

[uteboy]

Yes all the best Sarah. We met at Brands after I got punted into the gravel on lap one. It was really nice of you to come over and let me know Jim was feeling so guilty about it...;) I know how awkward life can be with a busted clav and my godfathers, a 7 month wait! Thats just appalling. Still gotta look forward not back!

[JasonBoswell]

GWS sson, Sarah. Hope youre feeling better every day and you'll be back out there in no time.

[trouty]

Nice one! It will feel odd for a while and you will probably have a section below the scar that will remain numb for quite a time. I had an area about 5 inch square that was totally numb and after a few months I thought it would be like that for life but 8 months later its only the 2 inch below the scar that I cant feel. Maybe a good time to get a tattoo done there while you cant feel it :D

[satans pet penguin]

thanks for that Martin I was wondering if it would ever come back but tbh as I had tendon and muscle reconstruction at the same time I am quite happy about the numbness at the moment as its a bit erm sore at the moment ,,, cheers Sarah

[vespa]

What does not kill you makes you stronger. You'll be better than before soon :)

[MARTIN H]

thanks for that Martin I was wondering if it would ever come back but tbh as I had tendon and muscle reconstruction at the same time I am quite happy about the numbness at the moment as its a bit erm sore at the moment ,,, cheers Sarah

I think they probably also injected something that keeps you numb for a few days. I know when I came round after the op my entire left upper body was numb including most of my arm. As you say its a good thing at the moment :) Hope it all mends nicely.

[mad48]

GWS Girl ;) ,

I still have a numb shoulder from a big off I had about 12 years ago! You'll get used to it if it remains, so nowt ta wurry aboot.

I have to say, having been in the medical profession previously, from what the surgeon said and from logical conclusion, the fact that the seriousness of your injuries remained un noticed (missed!) for sooooooo long, is to me a total **** take and clearly negligent. You may want to consider seeking an investigation/claim to assertain the long term consequences of their mistakes as well as compensation for them. They rely in this country on people feeling they need/ must just accept what can be very serious long lasting mistakes.

Really hope to catch up with you at the races this year as I'll miss ya icky thoomp humour if I don't.

Eeoop ah kid;)
