bone news

Hi everyone!

Updated news now. In third of January 2012 I was in hospital to be checked how is the healing process going on. The doctor said after he looked the x-ray pictures that there is now a noticeable ossifying started to happen but bad news was that my metatarsus is starting to loose bone and there is osteoporosis. So the doctor highlighted to me the importance of using my foot more by walking and other exercises.

I started to go to the gym. I stressed my foot up to pain levels and I was in hospital again sixth of March. Now the x-ray pictures showed that the ossifying process is going very well. My only problem is now my big toe in this left foot. It does not bend upwards so walking with it is painful. Also because of the damage, the tarsus is stiffed so that whole complex is like letter L(not bending). So walking in total is difficult. I'm going to have to buy special shoes for walking. My left leg is also now 2,7 centimeter(1,05 inches) shorter so the left shoe bottom must be that much thicker. I need at least three pairs of shoes.

I'm very thankful for your prayers. I have felt comforted many times when depression has been on its way. Next time, when I have to go to hospital, is in June. I'm sorry that I have not been writing this earlier or updating this chain. To me it is sometimes frustrating to write here because I do not always remember the right word in English. So I have to use dictionary and fluent thought disappears while I check what the word is in English or how it should be written!

Thank you for replies and comments.

The accident happened 16. of May 2011 and I have been suffering since then. Right now I'm looking forward and waiting for Jesus to speak about what I should do in the future.

Hi everyone,

I have started to walk without forearm crutches. If I'm standing all day on feet my injured foot starts to hurt and there is pain in the evening. I have been doing some voluntary work in our church again. We are making some room changes downstairs. Sometimes I get depressed when I notice how much the condition of my foot is hindering my moving - especially when I squat or walk on stairs downwards. There is a 20 cm long rod through my heel towards knee. That is to make sure that my angle joint ossifies. It's only Gods miracle that can make my angle joint and foot to work again.

Flesh and blood can't inherit the Kingdom of God! (1. Corinthians 15:50)

Hi,

I'm feeling fine mentally. Physically - my foot is not in good condition. I'm able to walk but being on feet all the day makes my back and left ankle becomes painful. But I'm a believer and Jesus is going to take me heaven and everyone else who belongs to Him. I will write more to all the chains I've started as soon as I get my laptop to work and connection to our summer cabin (thunder did its job). I'm repairing our summer cabin and I have to dig underneath the cabin - make a tunnel so I can lift it a little bit (tunnel allmost ready). Just leaving our home and on my wat to cabin.

Be blessed you all good people and also the ones that are not feeling being so good. Be blessed.

So,

here I am - writing with my laptop or notebook or what ever you like call it!!!
Thunder hit last summer to our summer cabins electric wiring braking only my notebooks battery loader or adapter. I also got some power to my hands but I still feel normal so I guess it did not change to any kind of strenght in me

I met with one of the central hospital doctors in 12th of June. He told me that my foot needs to be operated again( at the time I'm still waiting to get to the operation). He also told things that when I got the Doctors report of our meeting I did not remember us being discussed of parts of the items written in that document. Also there was no invitation to any further examination.

So there I was feeling kind of being left all alone. I was thinking do I now have to go to another doctor asking what should be done to my foot or what is going to happen??? Also I got pain every time I tried to do something like walk about three miles or fix our summercabin. After day being up on my feet next day suffering - almost not able to do anything. So I got depressed!

Fortunately - many thanks to Jeesus - finally a letter came in August with an invitation to come to the hospital. So there the Doctor told me that the support that is but inside me bone(a nail approximate 20 cm long), is causing fractures to my angle and shinbone. So the Doctor suggested an operation where they take the nail away and cut some bone away just before the big toe trying to ease the movement of my toe towards upwards. I'm still waiting to get to the operation.

I was in a meeting in October where a pastor prayed for my foot to be healed. God has been using him to heal people(Marko Selkomaa - you can find him through internet). Well my foot is not yet healed and my faith does not depend in miracles. I will still be a believer if myfoot is not going to be healed.

I'm very thankful of all the prayers you have been praying for me and I hope that God will bless all of you a hundred more.in the coming future.
