Six months on

Posted 07-31-2010 at 8:31 AM by excuzzzeme

I haven't updated in a while as I have been trying to work on my recovery in earnest. My overall appearance has improved dramatically due to the increased blood flow. Also in many aspects it seems that there has been a definite improvement in my ability to communicate, comprehend and problem-solving. There hasn't been much improvement in right-side deficits. Chances are I am where I will always be. I walk around the house and yard without a cane unless I am doing or going to be doing a physically...

Almost everything has healed and have just a couple of small spots left that are scabbed over. Finally able to take a real bath and shower. Due to being real cold out I decided to try to wear some Levi's yesterday. I managed to keep them on for about 3-4 hours and then had to get them off! Shocked my wife to see me in them, lol. Still wearing no more than I have to as my skin is still too sensitive to be able to handle the pressure of clothing for long.

Can't believe it has been 4...

Recovery continues

Had to go back into the hospital on Dec 22 due to infection. I was warned that infection occurs in many of the surgeries. After being on IV antibiotics, I was released on Christmas eve.

I am healing and the infection is nearly gone. I am able to feel the grafting and scar tissue. Feels weird like they left something in there, lol. Walking is still...

Post Surgery

Posted 12-14-2009 at 12:38 PM by excuzzzeme

Wow! A short 10 day stay turned into a 6-8 week debacle. The doctors had planned for every likely contingency except one: I'm allergic to morphine. I didn't know, but I sure know now!

I was poked, prodded, tested, retested, injected, inspected, detected, etc and finally given a green light prior to this. The actual planned surgery seemed to have gone well but what happened afterwards wasn't.

What wasn't planned for was my left leg being unable to handle the new blood flow....
