It Has Been Awhile

14 months and 2 surgeries later I am still in the same spot! Thankfully there has been no tumor recurrence! Bad thing is my 2 bone graft surgeries did not work! I saw my Dr almost 2 weeks ago and he said he feels I should be able to walk on my foot without the metal and screws breaking or coming loose. I have to wear sneakers only, if I would have been told this last year I would have been so sad but now I feel full of joy, as long as I do not need this 3rd surgery!! If a problem does occur I will need what is called a free vascularized fibular graft....UGH!

I have been in my sneakers for almost 2 weeks and so far so good. I have pain only in my ankle because it is stiff from not using it in over a year. The Dr does not want me in physical therapy because he is afraid the manipulation can damage the metal. So I am happy! I will be even more happier next year when I reach the 2 year mark. I was told when I was diagnosed with Giant Cell Tumor that we would have to wait to become pregnant for at least 2 years. I am eager to add to our family and pray that can start next Fall.

I will be back when I have some more news!
