Thank you, I'm not going to lie. I've gone through major bouts
of depression in the last year and decided to go back on to antidepressants a
couple of months ago. On top of my health issues, I've got a brother in
prison that is bi polar that is driving me nuts and my half brother killed
himself in February. Unfortunately, he was the one I could count on.
He would do or give anything and didn't have anything himself. He would
find a way. I am now stuck with the brother in prison and an older brother
that doesn't bother to call, write, or email anyone in the family knowing that
our mother isn't doing that great and either am I. I don't know how I hold
it together truthfully. I just have to. I live alone and have no
choice but to go on. I know its going to be a rough month or so when the
surgery gets scheduled so I am trying to put my head in a good place about
it. I do also think about how fortunate I am that I can use my arms and
try to look at what I have good in my life and that seems to help.
Thanks for the support.
Stacy

Stacy,
I know this doesn't help with your sore, but
I really admire you, among others on the list, for your willingness to carry
on even faced with such challenges.

Wow, mine was close to the ishiam bone pretty deep but tunneled.
It's really narrow. It's not from lack of care though. I had it
treated since it was tiny but it kept getting more narrow and more
deep. Tried the wound vac a couple of times, had it opened up and it
healed to the point of where it started. Narrow and deep. It is
beginning to fill in a little bit finally, but so slow so I figure just take
care of it.
Sad thing is that this all started because Medicare wouldn't cover a
gel overlay for my j2 cushion that didn't even cost 200 bucks and now they
are in the thousands deep with me. Pretty crazy.

How does bone deep sound? They actually
performed surgery on 2 during same operation.They were massive in size as
well. Hip and buttock have healed well,but i have been in bed waiting for
my chair. Red tape sucks hey.

Yes it makes sense, plus I think if you are out then there is a
less chance of spastisity. I want to be knocked out. I'm
sure it's a time consuming surgery and I'd like to sleep through it.
LOL. I'm glad to hear your success because I am quite
nervous. How deep was your sore to begin with?

Re: [QUAD-L] Need Advice
I healed in about 4
weeks post op.Yes,my muscle needed to be shifted from thigh region to
buttock.It was major surgery with success.Also,i asked to not go
under aenesthetic but was denied because of
positioning during surgery. Make
sense?
