Guest guest Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 My worse fears will come true, I need surgery done AGAIN. It will be done December 28, my thumb is completely dislocated. It is the tendons that are keeping it somewhat in place. The Dr. is going to put a pin in the top part of the thumb and a artificial socket at the base by the wrist. Then he so nicely added that in June we might need to do an artificial wrist in for me. I know you all know this but RA really stinks (I am keeping it clean.) I am already started to feel like a robot.I hate the way RA just eats at you. RA has caused me to already have 13 surgeries in the 33 yrs. I have had it. My mother would say that I have the I feel sorry for me syndrome, maybe I do but I am tired of getting cut open. Sure surgery stops the pain but I am still getting cut open. Don't laugh but I can't go to the airport without getting frisked, then the hand wand and you can show the surgical scar and they just frown. Maybe I should start carrying a copy of all they X-rays. I was so embarrassed with people stoping to look and stare. I am all for the toughist security to stop terrorists but somehow these guards need to to understand that people do get metallic inplants. Thanks for letting me rant a bit. I know that someome in this family has probably gone through it also and understands. Barb roboma@...
