~ TJ - just saw your leg

[Guest guest]

Ummmmm well- That picture was before the first surgery- that led to

compartmental syndrome/ double aneurysms...... and the bruising did eventually

work itself down and out my toes...... but the surgery was difficult one- they

had to take out nearly 8 inches of vein and then tie them off?? something to

that nature- the leg is pretty much dead------ I can't gauge pressure with it or

anything and to step on something small , like even a bit of paper- it throws me

for a loop - which makes no sense if the leg is dead- but o well, EDS is weird

in itself- That bruise happened from nothing more than a muscle spasm........

that was the third time in my life I had that happen - only this time it led to

that surgery............ But it does look better- I can make it do things with

my brain power - doctors are shocked that I have made it do as much as I can

make it do........

That was in January of 2001- if you go to my site - you can check out some

more pics of a later photo- ( I had a year of heck ) surgery after surgery-

happening after happening ------ and the only thing that drs can do now- is

treat me with chronic pain medications and tell me not to get hurt. Here is the

url: ( in a table is some pics of the damage a cell phone nic can do to a

person with VEDS.... ) http://moondancer.150m.com/ehlers.html

Hugs- TJ

Oh my TJ.

You poor thing! I just looked at the picture of your leg.

I'm so sorry.

How badly does it hurt?

I hope things are settling down. I haven't been on the computer for

a couple days.

Are you getting any better? What are the drs doing for you?

Big hugs,
