OKFree gets expensive.

Well, we finally have a good diagnosis on Lori’s OKFree crash injury.  The initial x-ray was negative, but the pain was not.  As a result, Lori requested an MRI scan, which she had late last week. 

We had the photos over the weekend, but if you don’t know what you are looking at (and we didn’t), you just don’t know what they mean.  The are very intersting photos anyway!

It turns out that Lori has three fractures.  Two in her pelvis and one in her hip.  She has minimal (given her injuries) inflammation, and no displacement. 

This is probably good news.  We now know the extent of her injuries, and we know that bones heal.  She just needs to take some time off her body and rest.  And now she has the medical opinion she needs to actually take that difficult step. 

It’s Vacation time for her!  Only, she can’t do the things she wants to do.  So it is a time for physical healing and mental growing.  I think it will be a good, and interesting, few weeks for us… :-)   Oh, and fortunately she can still swim and ride her bike on her indoor trainer.  Sanity is still in reach!
