Well we're home

[mini-muffin]

Wednesday we drove out to Greensboro NC, Muffin had to be at the hospital for 6 am and it's a 4 hr ride. His surgery started at 7:40 and lasted 2.5 hrs, then recovery about as long. Here's a pic of his foot all wrapped up pretty on the ride home yesterday. I have a few more pics I'll add just have to scan them. The doc gave them to me when he came out to chat after the surgery. Boy he was young looking. Jeff had DeNovo surgery, he had an accident at work in April it killed the cartilege in his ankle. The surgery uses donor tissue to replace what you've lost. The doc said it was more extensive then he thought. So Muffin is on his butt for about 6 wks, in 2 we got back to the docs office. So no bike riding for him, but it could have been worse. Just can't seem to convince him of that.

 

Anyway thought I'd let you all know. It's been a long year so far since this all started. Once this is all over he can go back to work. I'm really really looking forward to that day.

Listen to the docs Jeff. ( How Many times you told me that?) Hope it heals quickly for you.Take it slow and don't mess it up.

 

SLOW: Not moving or able to move quickly. Moving at Low speeds.

Glad to hear everything went well, hopefully they get him all fixed up on the first try! Listen to the Drs (in the beginning, anyway) Good luck on your recovery, hope its pain-free and Quick:fingers-crossed-emo

Hope Jeff heals completely.

Hope you get it healed up fast Jeff, all the best to you my friend.

These are the pics that the doc took during the surgery. The one with the metal looking thing in it is the tool he used to remove the old cartilage with. The pics after that one are the cartilage breaking apart to be removed.

 

Oh Painterman not much for you to have done. We went to Moses Cone's day surgery site. I spent the day sitting in the waiting area then the rest of the time was in the recovery area for night stays.

That might depend on just how short Mama hems the nurse outfit.......

 

But then that might inhibit your healing......

[TDunc]

Glad everything is good to go for now. Stay off of it and do what the doc says.

 

Let us know if you need anything.

[Venturous Randy]

Well, there goes the ball room dancing for a while.

Hope you heal well and yes, at least try to do some of the things the doctor wants you to do.

I still think that a "properly" hemmed nurse outfit even with the whips in hand would help the healing process.

 

Yes at least pics would be required, video would be better.

You know how to get here. I got the whip and the cat-N-ninetails, you remember that the last time I used it on you don't ya David? :whistling:That's when you threatened to tell your wife on me. Just cause I left a little mark.

Sorry about the pics but this is a PG site now boys.

Don, can we lift the PG rating for a day????????

[Barrycuda]

Glad the foot is dong as well as expected. As a therapist working in various settings, I can try to put in my 2 cents. Listen to doc, regarding weight bearing status, even if it feels better. You should not ignore any Physical therapy ( when you are allowed to go ) , where it will help speed up recovery and give you the ROM ( range of motion), proprioception, strength and proper ambulatory patten back as quick as possible.

Good luck and happy holidays....

Glad the muffing is doning good. Tell him hi for me.
