Aussie Annie Posted April 28, 2010 Share #1 Posted April 28, 2010 Just back from my appointment with the ortho surgeon, and he said the fixator can come off in two weeks. :dancefool::dancefool: I'm a happy little camper. Also have referral letter to see orthotics department about making some sort of leg/knee brace. This is gonna be a long two weeks!! But hopefully at the end of it I will get to "live" and not merely exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarlS Posted April 28, 2010 Share #3 Posted April 28, 2010 Good News. If we keep doing what the surgeon says we should come out OK. Hang in there, 2 more weeks is nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mini-muffin Posted April 28, 2010 Share #15 Posted April 28, 2010 Great news Annie. 2 weeks is nothing compared with what you've gone through so far. I'm hoping it goes fast for you. Guess the next pics will be of the new brace? :bighug::bighug: Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Annie Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share #20 Posted April 29, 2010 Thank you so much everyone I can always come in here to have my spirits lifted. Got an early appointment to the orthotics dept. and they are going to have difficulty coming up with something, as the graft I need to protect is just under another damaged area [knee] and having two unstable area's creats a dilemma!! May end up in a full plastic kind of brace the length of the leg Then we have problems with sitting, swelling, getting hot etc. So it won't happen in a hurry...and may take a few goes. I just told them I want to be able to drive the car and RIDE MY BIKE. May have to come home from hospital non-weight bearing and in a splint till they figure it out.

dunvilsteev Posted May 1, 2010 Share #23 Posted May 1, 2010 All the best Annie. You are the poster girl for perserverance, and you should be proud of yourself for having such a positive attitude. Lord knows how us men would of handled just a bit of what you've been through. Again, all my best for you. PS: Love the scoot ... butterflies are a great touch. I see a little symbolism, Pappilon breaking outa jail, Annie breaking outa those medical contraptions. A sign of things to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadwolf56 Posted May 1, 2010 Share #24 Posted May 1, 2010 Great news Annie, just take it easy until you get your brace right. Sue's knee is back to letting herr ride now. She was anxious to do things before she was ready but it paid off waiting. Hope it continues to go well for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
