1 month post surgery
It's been over a month since my surgery. Toe is still the same size it was as before. Yesterday was my appointment with the doctor and let me let you guys I am still in tears. Remember I told you guys how he reduce my gap from 7mm to 3mm or something. Well that cause it to shrink obviously and damage the skin since all the fluid came out. Then I am not sure if I told you guys that the last 3 toe were stuck together. well he placed gauzes in between and damage my skin even more he he remove the entire epidermis and nail. now my toe doe not have skin on it or nail. its just this pink tiny thing. I have been so depress, stress, and honestly i am fed up with this i don't know what else to do. I have been crying for weeks now.
I asked him, am I going to lose my toe? He hesitate then responded I don't think so. He also say I have a "slight infection". Doesn't look "slight to me. he did prescribe antibiotics and I have been taking them. I also have a cream to put on the toe. it says a small amount put I just pour it on the toe because I am afraid of touching it.
He then say we might need a second surgery to do another cut. HELL NO, I refuse to let that main damage my foot anymore. so right now I am just trying to heal the skin and nail and I will see him on friday. I will let you all know how it went. I've been trying to find ways to make me happy but no such luck lately.
ps. I HATE THIS

ReplyDeleteBella, Please let us know how you are doing. I just got back from surgery in Arizona with Dr. David Lee. He is famous for repairing failed brachy surgeries, as well as performing the one-step brach repair. He has done hundreds of them. I had fixator surgery back in march of 2013 and the bone broke shortly after removing the fixator. Dr. Lee uses a piece of your own bone from your heel and I definitely think this is a better surgical outcome. Please consider giving him a call. He's in Phoenix.
