I visited with my surgeon yesterday. It was my final visit with him prior to surgery on Monday. I'm not sure why he does this, but he continues to downplay the amount of pain I'm having. He acts, and has stated, that he hopes we don't make this thing any worse. While I also hope he doesn't make it any worse, I'm finding it hard to understand his position. It seems to change each time I see him.
He is the one that told me that there was increased uptake on the bone scan meaning that the grown-in tibia portion of the knee probably didn't grow in properly and was moving. He is the one that told me that the solution was to cement another knee in there. This course of action was all backed up by another knee surgeon as the right thing. The increased uptake was so pronounced that the tech doing the bone scan commented about it. Now, 3 days before surgery he says we're going ahead based on what I say. He sounded like he was trying to change his mind. It sure took me back somewhat.
However, we are going to go ahead and cement a new knee in there on Feb. 9
I'll probably be in the hospital for 4 to 5 days after that. I'll be back then.
