Dh update
 
Check up to day was not what we hoped. The bone grafting didn't look much different. Doctor said we would give it another six weeks. But said it may take another. Wow took us by surprise we were sure things were getting better:(. Hard to keep your spirits up that is for sure. Said he would not be back to work before the one year mark. Nov 23 is when this all started. So it took the wind out of our sails. We will figure it all out I am not feeling sorry for myself ( well maybe a little). I know in time we will get back to some kind of normal. Just wanted to update those that have been following

Sammy Mommy 06-13-2012 05:08 PM
you're allowed to feel sorry for yourself. You must be so disappointed. I hope your next follow up visit will bring better news for your husband. Sending hugs to you guys!

marcie 06-13-2012 05:12 PM
Oh, what a disappointment. I hope there is better news in six weeks.
Thanks for the update. it has been a long road for you.

yorkietalkjilly 06-13-2012 05:13 PM
What disappointing news! Oh, I am sorry! Boy, you guys don't seem to be able to get any good news on this condition. I know your DH is crushed as he's actually dealing with such pain & discomfort & you, having to watch & help him through this & fill in doing things he no longer can. Bet you are both feeling pretty bad right now. I'll be praying & hoping for a better outlook soon.

yorkieusa 06-13-2012 05:58 PM
You can certainly feel sorry for yourselves. I feel sorry for you! I really hated reading that news. I know your husband must have been really let down when they told him. How does he keep his spirits up? You must be a wonderful asset to him!:)

BabyGirl Rosie 06-13-2012 06:28 PM
I am so sorry. I know it is hard when you expect to hear one thing and end up with another. Continue prayers for your DH and you. (((hugs)))

kjc 06-13-2012 06:34 PM
Oh no! How sad... praying that he'll start improving soon! Hugs to you both...

Connie 06-13-2012 08:28 PM
Gosh...another YT member with a hubby with medical problems. I will be sure to pray for him and you and I hope things improve quicker and faster than what they are telling you!

Ahis_Mama 06-14-2012 02:36 AM
Awww..sorry to hear this. How does he feel physically? Sometimes extra positive thoughts can help with healing. I believe the mind is a powerful thing. I hope things get better, even if it's slow moving. Still saying prayers for you guys.
Hugs, Roni and Ahi Girl

jadabug 06-14-2012 02:51 AM
I can imagine how disappointed you guys are with that news:( I pray that this next 6 weeks shows a lot of improvement and healing.

Micah my love 06-14-2012 03:21 AM
So sorry for the news you got, hoping things take a better turn for you....hugs

rubymoon2072 06-14-2012 04:16 AM

LunasMomma 06-14-2012 05:47 AM
I'm sorry the news wasn't what you'd hoped:( Did the docs have any suggestions for helping things along? Perhaps dietary changes or gentle exercises to stimulate things more?

Sending good thoughts that improvement is imminent and that you both can keep your spirits up:love:

celstu1 06-14-2012 09:36 AM
Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry to hear this!!! I can't believe it's been such a brutal recovery! I pray that all you need is another 6 weeks before he's good to go! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and your family!

Lil Sis 06-14-2012 10:06 AM
I'm sorry...but try not to get too down! I know it's hard, have had a few pity parties myself. I will pray that his recovery speeds up...and I am sending hugs.

I hope everything else is ok... Hang in there!

horsnaround 06-14-2012 05:22 PM
Thanks everyone. We never thought it would take this long. We really thought after the bone graft it would for sure start getting better. So when we say the X-ray and it looked the same as before the bone graft we both were very disappointed. He is able to put a little weight on it maybe 20 percent of his body weight. They say if he does more then that he could bend the plates and screws. And we do not want to start all over.. I will stay positive he is so sick of this and has been so good. But I think this last visit really depressed him.

Sending healing hugs to the both of you :hug:. I am so very sorry to hear that your hubby's bone graft isn't healing as well as expected. I have been away from YT for a long long while recovering from my own major leg surgery so I'm not up to par with your hubby's problem. But if the bones aren't healing you might consider consulting with a doctor that specializes in severe bone trauma. If you are working with such a medical team, then perhaps the following link will be of interest to both you and your doctors. Mission: POSSIBLE - William D. Terrell, M.D. I can tell you that Dr. Terrell worked miracles on my left leg. It is now nice and straight and is the same length as my right leg and now I have no metal and/or screws to cause future problems.

Prayer said, candle lit....now, please keep the faith! Bless you and dh.

EarthAngel 06-15-2012 06:19 AM
I am so sorry you both didn't get better news. Sending you positive thoughts and prayers for healing.

I was thinking of the same apparatus as what Chattiesmom has posted. My brother had something similar to it after a bad car accident. It is something to consider at least.

horsnaround 07-20-2012 07:32 PM
We go back this Thursday. I am praying it is doing something. Otherwise I am afraid he is ready to give up on it. We are going on nine months and he is defintly very tired of it. If the bone grafting has not done anything i don't think he will let them do another :( he is having pain from the first grafting. I think he is to the point of saying if you can't fix it take it. His spirits are pretty good but this week will be lots of what ifs till we see the X-ray. I have had my hopes up the last two times just to have them shattered. Not ready for another negative X-ray. So hopefully in these last six weeks something has grown. Will update after the appt. on Thursday . Any extra prayers wouldn't hurt.

BabyGirl Rosie 07-20-2012 07:42 PM
Sending prayers your way for a positive report. Hang in there!! Hugs!

yorkiemini 07-21-2012 05:52 AM
Hoping for better news for you folks.
Just a suggestion- before he totally gives up be sure he talksmtomsome folks who have prostheses - they can be a problem, also.

Sending hopes and prayers!

horsnaround 07-21-2012 07:03 AM
It's a huge decision But if in nine months it's not healing not sure what the options are. We have heard you can get phantom pains. But he is having shivers sometimes all the way to his jaw. We have many questions this time that is for sure

jadabug 07-21-2012 07:10 AM
I am so praying for your husband, that he gets at the least a report that there has been progress. I cannot imagine being in this kind of pain for 9 long months.

EarthAngel 07-21-2012 08:03 AM
You both have gone through so much. Praying hard for a positive report next week.

rubymoon2072 07-21-2012 08:20 AM
praying and keeping positive thoughts.

yorkieusa 07-21-2012 08:46 AM
I can only imagine how difficult this is for him. My thoughts and prayers are with him.

TxVicki 07-21-2012 09:29 AM
Prayers going out for his appointment on Thursday and I pray that things are better. I know how very depressing this for him and you as well. Sending lot's of hug's and good vibes.
