Landed myself on the cardiac unit with a broken arm!!!

[Meatless]

Hi friends feeling a bit low. Out walking my cockapoo in a forest park yesterday and slipped on ice and completely shattered left arm! Stretchered off in ambulance to resus no less. Going to need a complex operation tomorrow to fix however worried about the anaesthetic and my heart valve disease! Worried but sure there’s no alternative the bone is at a right angle and has to be fixed🙈. They have me on the cardiac unit so am in the right place, please keep me in your prayers if you are that way inclined and if not thanks anyway for the space to share my anxiety....

Wishing you all the best for tomorrow.

Oh no! That's not good.

I suspect that a lot of people with heart valve problems need operations so the hospital team will know how to handle that with an anasthetic, especially as you're on a cardac ward.

Waiting for broken bones to heal can be tedious (broke my wrist just over a year ago) but it is usually a well defined time frame.

Ironically, I've recently been walking instead of running to try and reduce the risk of breaking anything.

Prayer and good vibes coming right at you ! Best of luck be safe

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 for a very successful op and recovery.

I hurt in empathy (March 2016, wrecked everything in my dominant arm from fingers to collarbone, breaks and dislocations - ouchie does not cover the 'discomfort' of a shattered wing!). Hopefully you're not left-handed.

Good to know they've got you on the cardiac ward, though.

Oh no!!!!! That’s awful, you must be so worried and in so much pain 🤗

You’re in the best ward to be kept a close eye on, warm hugs from me. Let us know how you get on, good luck with the op 🤗🤗 x

[ITSINTHEBAG9]

Oh love, how awful. I'm sure it will all go well and it's a good thing you are on the Cardiac ward as a precaution. Although a wintry wonderland looks lovely it's not without risk. I've seen some take nasty tumbles. Do let us know how things go x

[Gladwyn]

Best wishes for tomorrow x

You will be good. My right arm has titanium rod in it following a car cash. As long as the gas man knows about your cardiac problems you will be sorted out without any problems.
