Sooooo ... I saw the doctor today and he told me that my broken leg has healed rather nicely. Then told me that whenever I want I can have EVERYTHING (rod and screws) taken out.
I have to say that I have wanted this stuff out, but when I'M given the choice as to when ... I stall. It scares the hell out of me to go through this whole thing again ... the surgery ... the healing process ... the inability to do any strenuous activity for 6 months (no fast walking or even walking my Maya ... just walking).
He just gave me his card, told me I was good to go and didn't need to see a doctor about my leg anymore ... and give him a call when I wanted to get the stuff out. I think for now I'll be keeping it. I just keep thinking to how much it hurt to get out of bed those first two weeks when I could feel the rush of pain down my leg ... the sensation of feeling my knee split in two every time I got in and out of the car ... I will need to go through that all again ... this time I have a choice and I don't think I want to do it.

sweet.
You might want to find out weither it would hurt more if you waited and did it later Hun... you will need to have it done eventually and I'd hate to have it be worse... can they give you better drugs? The squeaky wheel gets the grease... (I'm turning into an old woman) You shouldn't have to feel anything the first 2 weeks... seriously... now I'm concerned... can't help it... I love you!
Yuck I don't blame you for stalling. Take your time heal some more before going through all that.
as long as there is no downside why would you have to take them out? blood poisoning?...
i never realized that stuff came out again..i dont know why though
i can understand not wanting to go thru it again, but waiting just delays the inevitable
If you fly, do you set off the metal detectors now?
That seems like something very easy to put off:
hey~
sorry i've not been around. as you know, i've been sick, and i'm still sick and my head feels like it's in a vice grips now, and my vision is going goofy on me, and my fever is climbing again at this moment, so i won't be online much longer. i can imagine you'd be a bit aprehensive to get all that stuff out of your leg with the pain it comes with. ug. hope to catch up with you soon. saw you on aim as i went to bed last night, but wasn't feel too great so i didn't say hi. love you! ((hugs))
Where'd you go Hun? Happy Valentines Day!
I had to pay the kids to do laundry... I was down to my robe! lol Wish we'd get out of this artic freeze... I feel trapped.....................................
I think you'll have to do it eventually, so you are just putting off the inevitable. Just don't wait too long, or there might be additional complications.
A great deal of effective info for me!
