Broken bone and compartment syndrome
Hey guys!
So I recently got into car accident and broke my left tibia and had compartment syndrome (tibia section got swollen due to internal pressure, decreasing blood flow, nerves and muscle cells getting pushed tight) and almost had to amputate my leg back in December.
Now I am half year in to my physical therapy and able to walk and do some exercises such as squats and lunges. Unfortunately some small part of my inner shin side (left leg, ankle facing my right leg) feels a bit numb.
And I read this on Transport Canada for Category 1 Medical:
The applicant shall be free from
(a) any abnormality, congenital or acquired; or
(b) any active, latent, acute or chronic disability; or
(c) any wound, injury or sequelae from operation
Am I screwed for Category 1?
Just wondering if there is anyone out there who has experienced a similar situation.
Cheers!
