Cindy RN Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Glad to post- I had the surgery on my R ankle to remove some of the hardware used to fix my leg that I fractured last Feb.-- all went great. The Dr only took the bottom 2 screws out because he was concerned the area left by the bone could cause stress fractures especially because of the recent past chemo. He said the bone was still slightly soft. So if I have loose screws again I guess he will fix it then. I am up walking (without the crutch when hubby isn't looking ) without to much pain, I have good ole darvocet. So Dr Sam you were right this was a breeze compared to somethings that have happened. Thanks for all the support and encouragement, I really needed it this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remembering Dave Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Yippee!! Don't rely on that Darvocet too much instead of the crutches. Keep those screws tight. David C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anniemac Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Cindy-loose screws?? Sure it's the ankle?? Be careful about putting too much weight on it--gotta let it heal. Surgeries sure are relative now--they all seem so minor unless they're yanking out a major organ!! Annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
