I recently fractured my upper humerus, a little over 3 weeks ago in fact. It was substantial enough that an operation was required to insert a pin. That op was done just under two weeks after the accident (disastrous health system etc). Today, a week and a half after the operation, I return to the hospital expecting my appointment to be a review and then removal of my monstrous post-op cast, only to discover, much to the doctors' puzzlement, that the pin has managed to detach itself from where it was supposed to be, and that I will need to undergo the operation again. Dismayed, to say the least.
Obviously since the whole thing happened, my primary concern was how it may affect my ability drumwise, and obviously its impossible to say in these instances as its all circumstantial, but my worry increases the longer this goes on in terms of subsequent long-term damage, as well as the fact that they're cutting me open to mess around with my shit again. Am I worrying too much? Have many of you had similar injuries that may have affected you and your drumming? I'm pretty anxious to say the least.
