Happy Valentines Day

So today was my follow up visit with my Dr and unfortunately I have no good news. I had an xray done and he reviewed by CT Scan, my bone is what they call nonunion. He said the bottom of the bone seemed to have some cloudiness but definitly not enough. He is going to have to take more bone, but this time from my right hip (yay I can now have matching scars on each side) I will have to be non weightbearing again but he said not for long because he wants to get me walking to maybe stimulate bone growth. Once again there is a chance that this will not work and then I will need Vascularization Bone Graft, I didn't even ask him what that is but he did say it is traumatic and we are going from lease invasive to most invasive. For some reason I have a good feeling about this one.
I have had a lump growing on the bottom of my foot which he has said looked like Plantars Fibroma and we have been monitoring it. It has grown a bit since December so I need and MRI next week. He said it can be a Giant Cell Tumor, however, it is not characteristic of GCT. You know just something new for me to worry about. I am sure it is nothing but I am still nervous.
And now from not using my foot I have developed osteosporosis. I turned 30 and everything has went down hill. He wants me to start swimming so I joined the Polar Club and we will be heading down to the shore this weekend. Just kidding, I guess I can use the YMCA.
So thats my news. I have not scheduled the surgery yet. I am waiting for his people to call me to see what we can set up. We will be taking a family vacation in 2 weeks which is much deserved right now, and then when we get back the panic will set it. Actually I am pretty good. It is what it is. I am here and living, just some set backs, nothing I can't handle!!
Thanks for the prayers and positive thoughts
xoxo
Theresa

I'm not so sure about this blog thing, but you and I are effectively in the same boat. I've had several miscarriages over the past year and in the midst of deciding how to approach my recurrent pregnancy loss issue I visited my ortho doc to evaluate a sore knee. Diagnosis, Giant Cell Tumor. Goal, expanded family (Unfortunately I am 37). I am so pleased to have found you. I think it may be good to experiance this with someone who has been similarly focused up to this point. I am scheduled for surgery 3/17/08. I go tomorrow for my last physician visit prior to surgery. I look forward to hearing how you are now (you indicated a second surgery is forthcoming). Looking forward to sharing. Christina (christina@picachohomes.com)
