Hi Karen!
Thank you for checking up on me! You are very sweet, especially considering all you are going through! I am so sorry to hear about the issues you are having. Seems like once something goes wrong there is a domino effect and everything collapses.
I am actually doing well. I went for my 12 weeks post op check up and the doctor is very pleased with the healing process. I am about 3 months ahead of schedule as far as the healing is concerned. I am beginning to grow new bone where he did a graft (of some sort). Pain is pretty much gone with regards to what I was experiencing.
Sadly, other things have popped up causing other issues, some painful (but livable), some not. I appear to be losing the strength in my legs and the flexibility in my feet. My neurosurgeon has been trying to figure it out since the issue started in June, but he just can't. Next step is to see a neurologist. It is amazing how poorly they are rated around here! I am very adiment about finding doctors well rated in multiple sites. Although my surgeon gave me a list of 4, one, who is the best will not be available until SEPTEMBER!!! Another I have to try to call back. I waiting 20 minutes to speak to someone for an appointment then I hung up. The rest of those I have tried either don't take my insurance or has narrowed down their speciality. It is really depressing to have such a difficult time.
Anyway, more importantly, tell me all about you and what the docs are doing for you or are going to do for you. I am sure the diagnosis is weighing on you. Have you gotten a 2nd opinion? Try your best to relax and deal. If you can't, try to find yourself a good therapist to help you! I am really big into therapy!!!!
Feel well!!!!!
Ronnie
