thank You, Poppet. I am feeling a little better now. I get encouragement here. Maybe it won't be so bad. Not as bad as the ones before? One Day at a Time....Always.
Enjoy the coast! Hugs and Thank you!

Who knows.......
I don't really think Jo was suggesting that it will be a non-invasive (non-surgical) procedure....just that it won't be something that is unusual for a good revision surgeon to deal with. Sorry....but in order to fix the parts, a surgeon will most likely have to do a revision of some type which would be really difficult arthroscopically.

I Understand, Jamie. I am really praying for some kind of Good News, upon return to Home in 10 days or so. I have a long Flight. Long... I will get up and walk about a good bit. It's all still so Scary to me. I am hanging in there, though. I haven't come this far to fall completely.
It's just scary. Not knowing anything but knowing too much, at the same time :(
THANK YOU for staying in Touch,
Laura

Hi @LPLaura, go forth my good friend towards recovery. Surgery is but a few hours (and you will be asleep 
).
You are so right honey, it is about faith...
Until you get state side, there is not a great deal you can progress, except working on the emotional aspect of another surgery.. I know you can do that! You have already achieved so much!
You are a survivor and a winner and we are going to sharing every step with you!
Many hugs from down under x

Hey, I got an Appointment with a Dr. Perez/Resurgeons Ortho out of Atlanta. He specializes in Revisions. Another Doc friend of mine used his Colleague for knee and Hip.
I also put Email to the referral from Jamie/PeachTree Ortho doc.
Gotta get records from the former OS. I guess that's not too complicated?
At least I know I have a Feb 6th appointment in Atlanta set up, now.
That makes me feel more proactive. Will take the Japanese CD with me. It has an Image, I know that much. Not sure if there is any Data? LOL.
Love, and Thank you friends. I can't tell you how much it means to know you are there....

Should be or could be? I think it should be as I don't think an MIS is appropriate.

Laura, please don't keep quoting a post every time you post. It's unnecessary unless there's a specific snippet you want to highlight as Jamie and I have done. Then use the "quote me" feature which you can find out about here How to quote a post

Hi You All,
Thank you Jo & Jamie!
Yes I am almost Home! I have my X-ray on CD. I was wondering if I could post on here? Kind of Eerie looking at it in Black and White
I got Wheelchair assistance the WHOLE way Airline may work with me to move me to more leg room on 12 hour flight.
Wow, this is humbling. I was doing so well.
That's just the way it goes.
Acceptance is now kicking in. I have SO much to be GRATEFUL FOR!
THANKS SO MUCH FOR CHECKING IN WITH ME REGULARLY!
Next Saturday, Jan 25, I leave. Saying Goodbyes is also hard to do. I have met so many strong folks, here.
Peace Ya'll!
Laura

You all are gonna be so tired of me! Now that I've found you I feel secure in knowing I have a safe place to cry, laugh, get anxious, and get better! Lemme see if I can Upload these images, Jo. There are 3 on some sort of odd format.
