Chris' foot surgery on Tuesday

[Phyllis]

We'll be thinking of you, Chris, Ross and Lyn as Chris faces another surgery on Tuesday. Prayers and best wishes flying your way.

 

[Ross]

We can use them. I hope this goes with no complications. It should. Just got notice from the State Disability determination service that they are just now, after a whole month, going to start requesting medical records and such.

Better late than never, Ross. We'll be waiting and hoping to hear all good results of the surgery and the disability determination.

Chris deninitely has my prayers. As do Mom and Dad.

 

[Ross]

Chris is supposed to call the SDD if he is hospitalized, so I told him to call tomorrow and let the case worker know that he's going for surgery Tuesday and that at least one possibly two more surgeries would be in the forcast. Maybe they'll move a little faster? Yeah um sure they will.

All kinds of positive thoughts headed toward Chris and Lynn and you, Ross! Glad to hear that the disability board is at least communicating with you/Chris. That's a good step.

The biggest issue we face on this is the pins getting infected. He's going to have to wear this thing for a month, so here's to keeping it free of infection.

For those that don't know what a fixtator is, here is a video tut.

Wishing Chris all the best for his surgery. I will say some prayers that all goes well tomorrow and during the time in this contraption.

I remember seeing a young man with one on his arm. It was mighty ugly, but doing the job for him. And he didn't seem bothered by pain, at least as far as I could tell. I think he had had it on for a while. He was at a wedding, and having as much fun as everyone else. It was a good conversation piece. He wasn't lonely, surrounded by sweet young sympathetic things

The ortho seems to think that we can crank this foot into position in 3 to 4 weeks, so hopefully he's right. Once that's done, the Plastic Surgeon will contour the graft and put another skin graft on. When that's healed, hopefully it's off to rehab and get him walking on it.
