Hello again,
I’m not sure any of you remember me, but I am still struggling and have now developed additional clots, which all is connected to my revision July 2020. I’ve learned a lot since this journey of mine began. I’d first like to apologize for being missing in action, but it does not mean I have forgotten the support and love from this group. You have all remained in my prayers everyday when praying the rosary. Please, if I can give anyone a single piece of advice, be sure you know The Who, what’s, when and hows to the surgeon you put in charge of your lives. Know your surgeons.
While struggling, it’s not all been bad. Along the way, many fine medical professional and doctors have jumped in to help, as well as BoneSmart.
I believe we may be on the right track. The doctors have me using injectable Lovenox and for the first time I'm making progress. My blood count is improved and some energy restored. The best part of it is being perky enough to return here so I can begin again supporting you. I’ve missed being here with you. This group for all those who are new can help you from finding good surgeons to support you from one stage to another. And PT, the best is right here with every single strengthening exercise and at what stage. They recommended a cream to help heal your incision wound and it works!i
SO, I will see you all again soon. Keep up your spirits and allow your body to rest! ICE, ELEVATE, WALK AROUND (you're not running a race!) AND REST.
PLEASE ‘DO NOT FORGET TO GET AND WEAR YOUR SUPPORT HOSE TO AVOID CLOTS.
Love and Prayers to ALL..
Mamie
PS: BE YOUR OWN BEST ADVOCATE.
