what to expect for my moms recovery for doctors appointment next week? Hex 7.5 to 29

[dancingfox]

I don't have any experience with interpreting a reading about a physical healing process.
My mom was in a horrible accident a little over two months ago. Her partner ( and my stepdad) passed away instantly, my mom survived but at great cost. She lost her partner of twenty tears and is recovering from serious injuries. She has one last injury, a complex fracture on her right lower arm. Her broken bones are kept in place by an extern fixator, a creepy painful thing that looks like something from a medieval torture chamber. This fixator makes her quite helpless in daily life, so she has been dependant on me and my sister since she was released from the hospital. She is staying at my place until the next doctors appointment. Her bones aren't healing very fast and her helplessness also adds up in her mourning process. I pray for her speedy recovery but I worry... In many ways. We hope the doctor will give us some good news next week. I was hoping the Yi could give us some clarity about her road to recovery

What to expect for my mothers recovery for her doctors appointment next week? Hex 7.5 changing to 29.
I have no idea what to make of this. Is there anyone willing to help me out with this one? :bows:

How awful for her, not only to lose your step dad but to be left with such injuries. I'm so sorry you are all going through this.

7.5 is a tricky one but I think the idea is one need not be too hidebound in one's ideas of how things should work. I'm taking the older son as the ways that have worked in the past and the younger son as new methods and ideas. Your question was

Well first, sometimes answers are literal, you may get a young Dr who brings new ways of proceeding and if you do allow that. I think you can't look to the past here to see how the future will be. 'Carrying corpses' is often carrying outdated ideas or things that don't work anymore. Methods that worked in the past don't necessarily work now. I wonder if the Dr will suggest other treatments....what I don't know.

Anyway I think the signs for healing are good if you can all keep looking ahead and keeping an open mind about the kinds of things that may help.


I don't think my answer is easily applicable to be honest, but I do think the way forward is not to look back for signs and signals of what will happen but to entertain new approaches to handling all this. Because she has been healing slowly it doesn't mean she will go on healing slowly. How it has been is not how it will be.....the idea is something is not set in stone in terms of how it will progress, I take it here that's her recovery.

Your mom (eldest) leads the army (healing processes) and you (younger son) help her with her body.

I agree with Trojina - not to dwell on the past, even a neutral mood is better than despair. But hope and inner happiness are the best!

I see 5th line as a collar bone (and the region where the arms are attached to the shoulders), that turns whole again.

29 gives hope that it will be ok, the water will slowly fill all the gaps. Keep on marching (7)!

Her doctors appointment is next Tuesday. At the last appointment the doctor told my mom he probably wouldn't be operating on her arm anymore because of the danger for infection. Maybe that's where there will be the difference in approach?

Her physiotherapist is working on her shoulder, there is an infection in the shoulder-blades because of the weight of the extern fixator. She says there is no sense in working on the flexibility in the fingers and wrist if the region around the shoulder is still stuck.

I will keep this post updated, as soon as I have more news.

Thanks a bunch, Trojina and Ash

I'm so sorry to hear your mom is going through such a tough time.
Hex 7.5 reads

There is game in the field.
It furthers one to catch it.

Could this refer to the infection or possibility of infection?

Without blame.

Could this mean all efforts to control the infection are good?

Let the eldest lead the army.

An experienced doctor?

The younger transports corpses;
Thus perseverance brings misfortune.

Could this refer to the external fixator she wears? Perhaps the doctor will recommend removing it if it is causing infection.

I think this hexagram and 29 emphasize the importance of having and following the advice of experienced doctors.

We have good news, the fixator will be removed on Wednesday next week. The broken bones are finally healing. The doctor will decide what the next step will be when he removes the fixator. I'm guessing she will get something along the lines of a cast or a brace.

Now that her body is recovering from the worst injuries it is time for the deeper healing of the soul. The psychologist warned us that the real mental healing process would start after the healing of the worst of her physical injuries. She has moved back into her own house, her sister will be living with her the first couple of weeks to get her kick-started. I find it difficult to let go of my mom, have been taking care of her ever since the accident. Going home has been very confronting for her so far. My second year of school is beginning so I can't be there for her the way I have been there the past 11 weeks. She lives in another part of Belgium and neither of us have a car. Time for my mom to find her independence I guess. She has decided to move house, closer to me and my sis, but we have to wait until the insurance money will be released.

Sorry for the rant; I think of nothing else these days ^^

Good news indeed, thanks for the update.

We all here wish your mom a speedy recovery! :hugs:

I think moving to another house is a wonderful idea, it will help her to move on and not be reminded of her husband too often.
