How are things now? Sending you healing thoughts x

Thanks! I won't be online very long tonight. I am exhausted, but I wanted to let everyone know the results of my visit with Maale.

The radiologist thar read the x-ray said everything was fine. Dr. Maale listened to my story, looked where the pain was I was referring to and pointed out possible problems. I might have torn the sutures that were holding the patella c .:hate-shocked: if that is the case I will be back in brace, because it is too early to do surgery again. The second thought sounded much better. The rehab is going to use a vacuum suction machine to get rid of all of the extra fluid that is trapped and starting to come through the staples.

I will then return to Maale's office to get the final verdict.

Hoping and praying for the best Sonja. I know you are tired of popping!! Hopefully it's just a few stitches that got pulled. If not hopefully he will get it fixed for you. Be careful.

Oh dear - that's not a nice turn of events and definitely not what you were expecting, I know. But if it's any reassurance, when tissues have been through what yours have been through, it's no wonder they can be a bit of a brute to get to heal. And the after effects of the infection and everything will have contributed to that.

But it will eventually heal, just take a lot longer than usual, maybe even 2-3 months. You are certainly learning what 'patience' means in a big, big way. The brace is definitely the best way and to just let the wound heal up from the bottom in its own way.

God bless you, honey.

Healing thoughts and prayers coming your way Sonja. Hope the second option is the right one, but you will be fine even if it means going a longer route. Lets hope Dr. Maale can fix the problem with as little disruption to your recovery as possible.

In my thoughts xxx:doggieshmooze:

Hello

After reading my last two posts I realized I am on some mind boggling drugs!:rolleyespink:


I am feeing much better today. My Husband and my Mother surprised me by coming in last night and even though they had to leave today, it was a real boost to my morale! I miss Pat so much and it was great to see Mom. They helped me out a lot. I hated to see them leave, but it has encouraged me to get well as soon as my leg allows.:wink1:
