In regard to my "Injury" thread....I HAVE TO HAVE RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Julz · 06-11-2007, 01:46 PM

I really did a job on my knee!!! I didn't "stretch" , but actually ripped apart my ACL, MCL, and PCL in addition to dislocating my knee!!!!!

I am so upset....my Summer is shot! The doctor said that a lot of people will tell you they dislocated their knee, but that it is actually a rare occurrence and doctors hardly ever have to give someone that news. I have physical therapy for 2 weeks before they will set a date for surgery. I am very upset, sad, scared and feeling like a total pain in the butt to everyone around me. The good news......I've been praying for patience for years and I seem to be acquiring some now

I sure wish I were closer, I'd help you out any way I could, pooch-sitting, pooch-walking, pooch-cuddling, pooch-playing, whatever you need, but PA is too big a state and we are on opposite ends. You are not a pain in the butt and have every right to feel scared, sad and upset. I would be a wreck. But, be thankful it's something that can be repaired. In the meantime, think of all the time you can spend bonding with the pooches

. Take care, and if there is anything I can do, just let me know.

Gosh Sandy, thank you soooo much! I'd take you up on that! The hardest part for me right now is not being able to care for them myself. My family comes over to help. I can't let them out to go to the bathroom, feed them, or bath them. I did just get a wheelchair that has given me some freedom and I'm going to try and figure out ways to get these things done myself. I do get to love on them, but I want to take care of them too. Your response touched me

thank you for your kindness.

simonandhallie · 06-11-2007, 02:50 PM

Awwwww I'd be right there to help you too! I'm so sorry, knee injuries are the worst but I hope that after surgery you have a super speedy recovery

Hugs to you~

patty58 · 06-11-2007, 03:01 PM

Bless your heart I know exactly how you feel. I just had both of my knees replaced at the same time...and was moving and having a house built. I had and still have to depend on people for everything. Just hang in there 'cause it will get better. Thank goodness my husband has been a saint...and my grown kids especially my daughter. I won't even go into all she has had to do. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Patty

Is this because of the trampoline or am I thinking of someone else? You really did a job on it, didn't you??? Just try to relax and don't worry about being a burden to people. Everyone goes through needing others at some point in their life. Try and enjoy being waited on.

Just don't let them know you're enjoying it!

One thing I learned many years ago...NEVER pray for patience!!!!

yorkiemalt · 06-11-2007, 04:25 PM

Oh boy.....sorry to hear this! A few years ago I broke both sides of my ankle....had subsequent surgery and spent months in a cast. I know how hard it is to do....but try and relax and let others give you a hand. I'm sure they're happy to do it for you.

Take care of yourself and heal quickly....

red98vett · 06-11-2007, 04:28 PM

oh man Julz - you really did mess it up ...GOOD LUCK with your surgery - I bet the aftermath is going to be pretty painful but do your PT and with good doctors maybe you'll be good as new after. That really sucks and hugs

YorkieMom55 · 06-11-2007, 04:31 PM

At least you can still get to the keyboard. Keep checking in and let us know how you're doing. Do you have a date for your surgery yet? Prayers for healing and comfort.

IluvLucy · 06-13-2007, 03:34 AM

Has your surgery been scheduled yet? Prayer going up for you from Georgia for an easy surgery and painless recovery.

Ozzie'sperson · 06-13-2007, 04:56 AM

Oh that is so horrible! I hope things go well and that you have as speedy a recovery as possible.

My goodness Patty, I can only imagine

! I understand getting them both done at the same time; so you wouldn't have to go through it twice. But oooooooooh, there had to have been some very difficult times there!!! My husband is gone from 5 am until 6:30-7:00 pm. Makes for a very long day to try and figure out how to get a few things done

. I do hope you had a full recovery!

more posts on YT once I'm feeling a litter better after surgery.

OUCH

. That sounds very painful. My mom and sister have been coming over and helping a lot. It brings tears to my eyes....I just can't thank them enough.

ARCHIE · 06-13-2007, 07:09 AM

Julz sorry to hear you need surgery. Hang in there and do the best you
can and try not to stress. It's just not worth it. You have enough to handle
as it is. I also wish I lived closer to help you. I would be happy too.
Please take care of yourself and continue working on your patience

It's hard when you are so use to doing things yourself and have to now
depend on others. Don't even think about it, I am sure everyone is more
than happy to do what they can for you. Stuff happens.
