Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Sandy, I am so thrilled to hear that you are not experiencing any more pain in your feet! I hope you go back to those doctors and prove to them that you were right, if it is worth your effort. Sometimes they are so bullheaded it doesn't matter what you tell them, but I'd like to think you could HELP them see how stubbornly ignorant they can be. Our hearts usually tell us what is right for us... Great news from you Sandy!

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I have not gotten my screw taken out yet. It does increasingly give me pain. I keep thinking to myself that I need to make that appointment. My podiatrist said that it isn't that unusual for some to have problems and pain with the screw. I have been so busy, I work about 4-6 hours everday. I am so happy that I can help with expenses. However, my job requires me to drive alot, so I am not really making any money on somedays. I just started working at the nursing home, in my old position I had when I got sick. I only work there every other weekend, for 8 hours per shift. I am really tired at the end of the day, but I am back...Yea! It is nice, many of the same ladies I used to work with when I was healthy are still there. I never thought I would ever work again. Three years have passed since I got sick and a little over two years post explant. It has been a long, long, long, learning experience, and I am glad to have my life back. Thanks for thinking of me, you are an AWESOME person, - From: glory2glory1401 <glory2glory1401@...>Subject: Re: ==> WHO HAS A SCREW LOOSE ?????

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Hi , It's good to hear from you again....I hope you do make that appointment to get that screw taken out. It could be preventing you from making some good progress in your final healing. It's so hard to know sometimes, but my experience with my root canals and my knee taught me alot about how very quirky our bodies can be...and many doctors fail to see the connections. Every dentist I saw to remove my root canals refused to do it, saying it would be a bad idea to remove a good root canal. And yet it was removing the root canal that made my horrible knee pain finally go away. I'm glad you are working again and finding joy in that, . I hope you and your family are all doing well and enjoying the summer!
