I'm so sorry Staci, that you have to go through more surgery etc. I know how upset you had to be when you got the news. If it would make you feel better, I could send my grandkids over or a couple of dogs over. With all the commotion, you won't have time to think about what has to happen but I can't promise that the noise won't make the headache come back!

[Cincy'sMom]

Staci, I'm so sorry this has been such an ordeal for you!!! What a pain in, well the foot I guess! Lots of good thoughts coming your way!

[pitc9]

Oh No Staci! I'm so sorry.

{{hugs}} to you.

Staci - I'm so very sorry things have turned out like this. So frustrating, and so much time wasted - right?

Keeping fingers crossed, and prayers being sent for a quick and better outcome with your new doctor.

[shais_mom]

Thanks! I feel better today - tho I'm still bummed about it of course.
But as Anna told me on the phone - I've always had a screw loose!!! Thanks Phred for changing the title.

I'm sorry you have to go through this. I'll keep you in my prayers, that your foot is all fixed up properly soon.

[Ginger's Mom]

Yes, thanks for changing the title, I may have missed this development otherwise. Staci, I am so sorry to hear that things have turned out this way. I hope that Tuesday's procedure can clear everything up, and that the pain heals quickly.

[Daisy and Delilah]

This really stinks, Staci. What a horrible thing to have to go through. I hope you get some relief soon and the new surgery works miracles.

I would be emotional too And......seriously depressed

Get better!!!!! {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Hey, that's what friends are for, right Anna? Staci, I am glad you feel
a little better today. Hang in there. ((Hugs))

Staci - when they take the old screw out, have them save it for you.

I had a plate and screws in my right ankle for a few years. When they were removed, I put the plate on my key ring (it's still there), and had a pair of earrings made with 2 of the screws. Unfortunately, that metal (titanium?) is difficult to bond with other metals, and one short drop to a counter top knocked it loose. So the screws are gone, but the plate lives on!!

[shais_mom]

well I went to the second opinion today and confirmed what I thought. I'm just going to have the screw taken out and let it heal on its own if it ever does. I'll be put in the walking boot for a few weeks and then back to the regular routine. (weight bearing promotes bone growth)

[kimlovescats]

Staci, I'm sorry you are having so much trouble with your foot! I fractured mine in 2 places a few years ago. My regular doctor totally missed the fractures. It was 3 or 4 months before he found the first one, then he referred me to a foot doctor! He discovered a 2nd fracture and put me in a full cast for 6 weeks. This was after I had worn a boot for several months already! Anyway, after the cast came off, into another boot. Still in pain! Long story short, I had a bone fragment floating around in there and had to have surgery. Another 6 weeks on crutches again! In all it was a year long event. I didn't think I would ever be able to walk again without a limp!

I hope that you can get your foot taken care of soon!!!

Hugs,
Kim

WHEN is a secret ... but sometime Today, Tuesday, October 29, 2007 -
Our Miz Staci is going to get picked up by Mom and delivered to the Hospital in Upper Sandy ...

Doc will remover the Screw from her footsie and put a new Zipper in;
then prolly do a wrap job over a splint.

When she recovers from the knock-out cocktail ...
Mom/Bus Driver/Head Nurse will haul The Patient and the BRD (Big Red dawg)
off to the M&M Recovery Center & Mouse Sanctuary till Wednesday.

Wednesday the Bus Driver will load BOTH "Patients" (Staci AND Dad) + BRD in da Bus and
head north to the Remote Recovery Cabin inna Woods in Michigan.
NO Phone - NO Internet - "spotty" cell phone reception --- Peace & Quiet!

Return south to civilization will be sometime over the weekend.

Sooooo ... say a few PT Purrayers for a successful De-Screwing;
and a comfortable (mouse-free) stay in the Cabin!

{{{HUGS}}}
