just had my total ankle replacement

Posted , 7 users are following.

I finally did it!  Been 6 years from the car accident and the pain just kept getting worse.  Dec 6th was my surgery.  So its now exactly 2 weeks post op.  I'm handling the pain pretty good.  But having nausea and vomiting and very depressed,  hopefully this will stop soon.  The sutures come out Wednesday.  I sure hope this works and improves the quality of my life.

      Thank you that helps knowing your doing so good. After he took my stitches out he put me in a cast. I was surprised I had never been in a cast and this is my 5th surgery but my first ankle replacement the pain is already better than I was living with for 6 years. So I'm hopeful it's not yet 3 weeks post op but I feel it's going to be good for me. Merry Christmas!
