Good Morning!

[Guest guest]

Hi all!

I haven't been here in forever!

I had my theigh muscle replaced last week and I've been in PT since.

I loooooooove PT still.

I went to see my Dr yesterday before PT and he is sooooooooooo

pleased. I can still wiggle my toes and he said the nerves in my

toes are waking up!

But the rest of me haven't.

So he said it can take up to a yr and 1/2 for nerves to wake up, so

he's waiting 1 year as of yesterday's date to see if I need surgery.

I have to go back monthly for visits (because of stupid insurance is

getting gay with paying me lost wages since it was a Trauma - they

need a note from my Dr saying I'm still under his care.)

But anyhoo, he said if the nerves aren't up, he'll go in and replace

them.

Then he was like... " And after your 1st 6weeks of Physical Therapy,

if you can't move that ankle, we'll go and replace that right away. "

I was like.. " Where do you take this muscle from? "

He was like.. " Your butt! "

LOL.

So I have...3 weeks of PT left to decide if I'm going to do that!

I'm not allowed to go back to work for a LONG while.

My Physical Therapist is curious because I haven't gained any muscle

mass or my swelling hasn't gone down.

So my Dr knows all this because my life @ the hospital is just one

big circle....

my Godmommy Kathy works for Carl.

Carl is my Orthopedic Surgeon.

Carl and are best friends.

I love using that.

I've been talking to PaPa Joe Ghost, who is my grandpap and travels

to my house and my sisters house ALL the time.

I go to bed and talk and I wake up and talk and I go the day

normally (well, try to).

[tearing up now thinking about it...lol]

But I always tell him how I'm doing & how I really want something to

come about quicker and get me walking & back to work, but I realize

it's up to how fast these damn nerves grow back.

Oh well.

I hope everything is going well for everyone.

I got a new AOL name - case6174

Talk to you all shortly!

Love,

Case
