Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Hello everyone, Tomorrow I go in for my triple arthrodesis. I am very nervous so please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. i am so tired of all these surgeries. I hope this one lasts longer then the others. This is my first triple. I did have my subtalar joint fused and the fusion is totally broke in both feet. Anyways, I will keep you posted how I am. It is scheduled for 9:30 am.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Had it all done 25 years ago @ 15 and 16 years. The worst part will probably be waking from the anesthetic. I always found recovery very difficult. But you will be fine within 6 months. On Sep 28, 2010, at 2:28 PM, defman wrote: > Well, the time has arrived.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Defman, You may very well be in surgery as I type this note and will probably see it later today or tomorrow. Please know that the following prayer has been made and brother, I wish you the best: " Dear God, there is no other God but you and you are the best of heelers. I ask that you please heel Defman's body, remove the pain, and leave behind no signs of his ailment. I ask that you make his recovery process easy and grant him patience during this difficult time. I ask that you surround him with supportive people and that lay your hand of mercy upon him and his family " .Amen. Rashid > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
