Good News

Last week I saw Dr. D, she said my tissue looks great and I am set for surgery on March 8.

I also met with one of the other surgeons in the office who agreed my tissue looked great.  I think he's the one who take the bone for the bone grafts.  We discussed where he would be taking my bone from - likely the tibia of my right leg, not my hip as Dr. D had initially said.

It's out, at least part of it is out

Dr. D took out the external part of the extraction device.  The process went smoothly, or so I'm told.  I was under anesthesia.  It was so good that I slept through my appointment with Dr. F too.  I barely remember all the jabbing and poking that goes with getting a new wire put in.  Dr. D did tell me that the bone seemed to be growing and developing nicely from the look of the X-Ray.

At my follow up visit with Dr. D she told me everything was healing well.  She did, without saying it, give me the impression that March 8th for my surgery might be too soon.  She say she would let me know when she sees me this Friday.  Fingers crossed.
