soccerchick11 - hi - yes she did have surgery twice and both times there was a bit of a panic in the recovery room because her blood pressure dipped. It's normal for this to happen, but hers was low to start with. It was ok - they just managed it and kept her in the recovery room for longer. I think...

It is SO important to tell your surgeon everything about your medical history. My daughter has low blood pressure and even though they were aware of this prior to surgery there was a bit of a panic when she was coming round from her second surgery because it dropped so low - believe me you and your ...

I'm SO delighted for you - you truly deserve this - you have been so patient and such an ecouragement to others. I hope this helps to ease the discomfort you've had. One more milestone towards the end of the journey. Take care and God bless. xx

Hi Ortho12 - I've been following your posts and I'm really delighted to see that you are making progress - it will all be worth it in the end. :) My daughter is doing really well. It is just amazing to see the difference a few months can make. She's due to see the surgeon again in January, and I'm s...

Congratulations on getting through so far and especially for your optimistic and positive outlook. I agree with everything you say about the importance of being positive and also about having people to support you - this is VERY important as it is so easy to get down after this surgery - it is long ...

You're in a bad place right now - totally not your fault - but things WILL get better and you WILL get through this. Sometimes you need to let it all out. I know that you've been going through this now for some tim...

Hey Saffie - I'm so pleased you're finally getting somewhere. Hope all is going ok with the ortho and Mr. K. Hang in there - he is an excellent surgeon. Keep us all informed of progress. Take care and God bless xx

For what it's worth, my advice to you is to read and be informed about every possible outcome - negative and positive. It is a fact of life that not everyone on this board has had good outcomes to surgery - whatever that surgery has involved and whatever the reason for their dissatisfaction. The one...

It sounds like your surgey definitely did not go according to plan. My advice is to establish from the original team if the outcome you have was what was intended. Put everything in writing to the surgeon - ask what were the planned movements and if these were achieved. Ask for your pre surgery x.ra...

Hello OssysMum. I don't know an answer to what your asking, but I'm really hoping that you're not going to have any such problems. Take caer and God bless. Jane xx

I suggest you get a second opinion. You have a right to question and to be sure you've go the best outcome possible. God bless xx

Thank you blindboarder - hope you are doing well. Take care and god bless. xx

Many, many good wishes for your surgery - so glad your finally getting your surgery after such a long journey - take care and God bless. Jane xx

Thankyou all so much for your kind words - at times we wondered if we would get to this point and be able to look forward with optimism - I'm truly delighted to report that when things go wrong, or when there are unanticipated outcomes (as sometimes happens) if you take action and are determined the...
