I was taken for a loop today at, what i thought, would be another simple, yet time consuming follow-up appointment. The first thing my doctor said when he walked in was, "We have a lot to talk about today." It wasn't what he said that alarmed me, it was HOW he said it. At that moment, I knew something was wrong.
Because my bones are so soft, another bone has shifted out of its socket due to all the rotating that is being done. Although my left foot is now aligned appropriately, the foot will not heal properly with this bone out of place. Conclusion: I have to have surgery on WEDNESDAY! My doctor lost me at, "...your bone is out of socket." I am pissed!
Points to be grateful for: this won't set me back time wise, i am not in jeopordy of losing my foot (yet), surgery should not be long, my foot/leg will heal correctly.
Points of distress: ANOTHER surgery, financial issues, i have to be cut open again, i DO NOT handle surgery well, my poor foot/leg will have new wounds that will need to heal.
I cried like a baby - I cried and cried and cried. This took me for a loop - turned EVERYTHING upside down and i have yet to find solid ground again.
