Something to grip with the pliers when they go to pull it out. I wondered how they were going to get that pin out.....now I know! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skreef Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Wow that gives me the shivers. I hope you're not in to much pain. You're lucky you didn't lose your finger that's that's bad. It has been very painful. No doubt on could have loss finger.. Alot of damage. Very Thankful Mrs. Reef's Bistro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skreef Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Oh my! That looks awful and mighty painful! Time for her to put her feet up and let others take care of her. Be sure that she gets some PT down the road to regain full use of the finger back. PT is scheduled. I will need it before they will release me back to the work force. Very confident I will with time. I will miss my job in the mean time. Mrs. Reef's Bistro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skreef Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 You are correct, easy is good since getting the blood pumping while trying to do something else would hurt even with hand elevated. Range of motion with knuckle being involved is scary. Infection would be a concern as well so taking it easy and keeping it clean, dry and drinking good fluids and eating good food is essential. I have been pretty lucky in life when it comes to trauma and have survived all of it, so far I hope she has a designated cooker/chef for the KK!! Ckreef is taking very good care of me. No complaints.

Aussie Ora Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 I was doing pretty good until I got old. Now I have a steel plate in my neck the steel ball in my left shoulder and a steel ball in my left hip. I'm afraid to jump into the deep end of the swimming pool with all that steel I would probably stink right to the bottom lol Wow better change your name to iron man lol. Only joking I hope there is no more to comeSent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Ora Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Age is a cruel mistress isn't she?!? Our Golden Year are more like tarnished brass. Do you travel through metal detectors in your normal routine? They are a big hassle for me, and now radiation detectors can trip from my cancer treatments. It sure can I wish you all the best the big C has taken some really great people from me Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that point she still had 5 more to go.....petrified now...bout to dig a hole in my head intisipation for the next wave of pain.. The next one didn't rub a nerve....Thank goodness...she said she got them all.... Yayyy... She cleans up everything and what you know... She found another one...Dang it... This one is in the most deep and tender spot... O boy.. Back to digging in my head...good godly miss molly... Pain pain... Whew!!! Thats over... I didn't pass out or cry... Now just need a bandaid for my head... I head now to see the Doctor.. He said hes taking the pin out in 2 weeks... Just enough time for my head to heal...so after 3 hours of torture and didn't cry...

The funny thing is that I have had far worse things happen to me and survived, even if several family members have died from the first cancer I had in 1967 (melanoma). So I have high hopes in beating this too. I know we all die sooner or later so live as much as possible and enjoy the ride!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FotonDrv Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Susan, it is good to hear that you are now only on ibuprofen, that is a good step forward with your recovery! Saying prayers that the pin removal will go smoothly. Last year I had a screw taken out of the bone in my right foot (bunion surgery) because it hurt more with the screw being left in than just removing it. So you might feel a whole lot better when that blasted pin is removed. Save the pin and make something out of it When I requested the screws from my foot I had to sign a release, even though it was mine and I paid to have it put in and I was paying to have it removed. Pretty odd if you ask me. My mother had 21 major abdominal surgeries in her lifetime and when they did the last one there was not enough skin left on her belly for the sutures to hold without tearing through scar tissue so the surgeon used strain reliefs for the sutures to distribute the load on the skin; they were about 3/4" diameter buttons so it looked like she was laced up. She had a sense of humor about it and saved the buttons so after the surgery/removal of sutures and for the follow up she made a new dress and used the buttons on it. The doctor just busted out laughing when he saw what she had done with the hardware. So, shock your doc with creativity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
