Re: Deaf.........

Re: Deaf.........
Mel, its time you started pestering someone now and so sorry to hear of the Arthritis in the foot.Mel GT wrote: I still have had no feedback from my bloodtests so need to push for an appointment at the ENT clinic..........

I know I only got results by being a complete pest to every medical person in the equation.
Take care Mel.

Re: Deaf.........
Well it has been a while since I heard anything from the quacks as regards my foot............appointment at the foot clinic last night has turned up that my toe has a form of aggressive arthritis, this has now totally worn my cartiledge away and have only 10-15% movement left in it..........
Next is an operation to 'fuse' my toe joint together!!! 6-8 weeks off of work..........yikes. Apparently the technical name for it is Hallux Rigidus !
However I will wait till spring for this as far to busy this side of crimbo and have Oz in Feb.........

Re: Deaf.........
Oh Mel!!!!!!! That's awful! I hope your operation will help, which I am sure it will, although I haven't ever heard of this.
You enjoy yourself until the Spring, which is a good time to have the operation coming into the summer for your recovery.
Be careful with your foot Mel.

Re: Deaf.........
Thanks Alexis, not the best of outcomes but hey at least it should make me painfree after the op..........
The fusing is the next step up from soemthing called a Chailectomy, more can be found here.......

Re: Deaf.........
Isn't it amazing what they can do? Painfree is the most important thing. We humans (in your case carrots) can withstand a lot of things but pain wears us down more than anything I think.
Ask them to put a nice diamond inset into it to go with your unique style.
Take care Mel. It must be awful for you.

Re: Deaf.........
Update - In for my operation this Friday !! no longer having the Fusion but going for a Cheilectomy instead, so still 2 weeks off of work.....going private now instead of NHS as they were taking too long, plus I have the insurance from work so may as well use it !

Re: Deaf.........
I will be thinking of you on Friday Mel. All the best for a speedy recovery. I think going private was a good choice.

Re: Deaf.........
All the best with this Mel, to be honest the Hallux Rigidus sounded more like a harry Potter spell than an operation but I hope whatever they can do will make it as pain free as possible!
So when the whole world is safe..............what are we going to do then?

Re: Deaf.........
ha ha thanks both and yes Alexis, definitely the best route !! even been in for a pre op assessment to check Iam fit and healthy and don't carry MRSA (I don't by the way lol)
And yes Keith it does sound like a daft spell.........I will be so glad to get this over and done with and be pain free (in my right foot anyhow!) however - shaving my toe bone is going to be a lot less fun than a daft spell
