| Rhonda, I am so frustrated for you and Alex. Sending prayers that his knee will finally completely heal. The two of you have been through so much.

| Talked to nurse today. The doctor is going to see Alex today. It is the one that I got ugly with for leaving us sitting in the hospital so this should be interesting. I will update later today.

| Rhonda, I'm keeping your Alex in my thoughts and prayers. Bless you, I know difficult and frustrating this is for you both. Wound care specialists can do some amazing healing. Sending positive thoughts your way.

| Oh!! I can't believe you have to see him again, but I am so so glad that they called you back this morning!! I'm anxious to hear how it goes. Hopefully, he will be nicer this time!!! I hope he is able to help you start getting to the root of the problem so you can work toward resolving this once and for all. I know you are certainly ready for a resolution at this point!! |

| Ok, here is what we were told. It appears that his knee has serous fluid which they tell me is normal after surgery. Most of the time the body absorbs it and everything is fine. It is a little red, however, it is not warm to the touch and they did not feel that it looked infected. From what I gathered, it is a waiting game to see if the fluid absorbs or not. So, I am set to go back in 2 weeks. I did find this so I could understand it a little better. "A seroma is a pocket of clear serous fluid that sometimes develops in the body after surgery. When small blood vessels are disrupted, blood plasma can seep out into the surgical area. Further, the inflammatory process can lead to additional fluid exudate. Seromas are different from hematoma (collections of blood), and from abscesses (collections of pus). Seromas can also sometimes be caused by injury, such as when the initial swelling from a blow or fall does not fully subside. The remaining fluid causes a seroma that the body usually gradually absorbs over time (often taking many days or weeks); however, a knot of calcified tissue sometimes remains." So I guess we will know more in two weeks.

| I am sure you are wondering, when will all this end I pray that the fluid disperses out into the body and Alex knee is back to normal before your next Dr. visit. I can't imagine the stress and worry you have been through since this all began in March. ((hugs))

| Just seeing this Rhonda, referrals are such a pain. I'm always fighting for my clients with their PCP's in order to get them to be a little more flexible. Anywho, glad they don't think it's infected. Still sending lots of prayers. Is there any chance your PCP can refer you to another surgeon just to get a second opinion to be on the safe side?
