Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / September 2006Sister having surgery today
Well finally after 11 months my sister is having surgery to remove her knee prosthesis. She will have the "puck" put in with antibiotic. I am not sure how long that has to be left in, and then the puck will be removed and a new prosthesis put in. She is also having an "umbrella" put in because she developed a clot as a result of all of this. Please remember her in your prayers.I hope that this will put an end to the infection that she has had for the entire 11months. Rose @}>->-- Being educated means that rather than fearing the unknown, one seeks to understand it. RB Please remove "Ima" to reply. My doc made mention of "12 weeks" with a spacer (puck?) put in temporarily, if I get an infection, and have to have the TKR removed. Best wishes to your sister.

(attributable to some forgotten character in a book or movie i've experienced). she has my prayers and hopes that all goes perfectly well for her. as do you, my friend. kate Well finally after 11 months my sister is having surgery to remove her knee prosthesis.

I can only imagine how frustrated she is after all this time. She does have a different surgeon, doesn't she? Pray the next prothesis will be the charm !

They only did the heart catheterization or whatever it was- to put the balloon in. When the doctor's office called they said she would be having both procedures done. Now it sounds like that was never the plan. She said it was bery painful. Thanks for your prayers. Now we need prayers that the next surg will come and go quickly. maybe they are waiting for the one year anniversary. Rose @}>->-- Being educated means that rather than fearing the unknown, one seeks to understand it. RB Please remove "Ima" to reply. still keeping your sister in my prayers. Hope they get to the bottom of this and soon. I feel for her having to suffer and suffer like this.

Well, may she feel better with the angioplasty done and be in better shape for the knee surgery right around the corner.

I was out of it and don't remember a thing. They evidently didn't do the same for her, and that's too bad. Gwen > They did not do the knee.
