Guest guest Posted May 2, 2000 Report Share Posted May 2, 2000 Hi Cecilia! Thanks for the extra info on Tami's surgery. I'm glad it was short and sweet, so to speak. It sure could have been a lot worse so I know that this group's prayers are strong. It will be nice to have Tami back with us when she is feeling up to it. Thanks again, Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 25, 2000 Report Share Posted November 25, 2000 I had the TTT surgery called a Fulkerson Osteotomy and a lateral release 11/30/99. It is major open surgery and I have a 7 inch scar. I was immobilized partial weight bearing for 7 weeks. I started PT eight weeks psot0op and went for 4 months. It is a very painfull and long recuperation. I have no knnecap pain or grinding at all anymore. I do havve bad shin pain from the 2 tibial screws and I had them removed 5 months ago. The shin feels better but not good and my os says it could take me quite a few more months to feel better in the shin. <br><br>I do not regret having this done since it might save me from total knee replacement.<br><br>Cari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Hajcanglong, Keep me posted on how you are doing and I will do the same. I am 4 months post microfracture and I am still taking it easy and seeing some improvement, but it is still to early to tell.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 I'm glad everything went well. Is this it for the cancer? Does this surgery take care of everything? I hope so. Get well soon. christine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tell people the kids hit you in the face with a toy. >It was cool that he removed a nevus birthmark that was right > under my lip at the same time. 2 for the price of 1. When will you be getting the results of the biopsy? It was just a bump but it's nice to be rid > of it after 41 years. For the past 10 years I've been *growing* all kinds of skin flaps everywhere on my body. Everyone on my mom's side of the family used to have these, and now I am. Totally harmless, they just look weird and get in the way, like the one that had to be removed from where the band of my bra hit and the one under my eyeglass arm. I have one now getting ready to be removed from right under my left eye. The doc wants to wait until it's a bit longer. Gosh, just color my face green and I look like a Halloween witch mask already!! > I'm supposed to leave the big bandage on for 48 hours but it already feels > like it is falling off. The doc expected a bandage to stay on for 2 days in a hot, Texas summer? > I'll get the stitches out next Thurs. so it will be > rather annoying until then. That must have been a pretty big area to require stitches. None of the cancerous lesions I had removed needed them, and that was with 2 different docs, one being a plastic surgeon the other a dermatologist. I guess it's just where they were as well as size. Now keep your hands off and don't scratch! LOL I've been yelling that at Ed ever since I took *him* to the doc the other night with the weird rash on his arm.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 ----- Original Message ----- From: " Sue in NJ " <susang@...> > When will you be getting the results of the biopsy? It was already biopsied three weeks before the surgery and was basal cell carcinoma. With Mohs surgery they do pathology on the tissue right after it is removed to make sure they got it all. I don't think it needs more analysis. > For the past 10 years I've been *growing* all kinds of skin flaps everywhere on my body. Mmmmm...... sounds attractive. I get them on my neck but it's under my hair so doesn't show. > The doc expected a bandage to stay on for 2 days in a hot, Texas summer? I have to swab my chin with rubbing alcohol so the bandaid will stay on. The oils in my skin make the bandaid come off and my skin isn't particularly oily. > That must have been a pretty big area to require stitches. I'm surprised that the incision is so long. It's over an inch. I can't use an inch wide bandaid so it's probably more like 1 1/4 inches. He put in 8 stitches. > Now keep your hands off and don't scratch! LOL Eeeewwwww..... I couldn't scratch even if I wanted to with stitches. Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Wow! Not much time to prepare, but then again, a new knee!!! (Or hip.) Good luck. I hope everything goes totally right. Ann Surgery Well I got some shocking news the other day while standing around with one of my friends. My orthopedic surgeons office called with a cancellation and moved my surgery from next July to... Sept 20th (this month) I was happy and took the surgery date. There was no way I was going to wait for the next cancellation. Anyways... Just wanted to update. Now i'm not sure what to expect with some much else going on with my life right now, I get to add surgery on top of all that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
