Last Eight Months

Starting off with September 21, 2007 I had a foot operation which made it operation number four on the top right of the foot. With this operation, I had a bone spur removed that was about to come out of the foot. Mind you, Bone Spur operations should be one of the easiest of operations. Well for me it wasn't. October 23, 2007 just a month and two days later my incision decided to split open completely. That didn't stop seeping and finally started to close until around seven months later which was the week of March 21, 2008. On March 21, 2008, I had an MRI on my right foot again. This time it was because of major pain I was having and we needed to know why I had been taking so much pain killers. Low and behold nothing showed. As of March 24, 2008, Dr. Collins and I decided to sign me up for another foot operation which would make it number five on this foot. I was to have it for the following week on Friday April 4, 2008. After going back in with this most recent one they took a nerve out of my foot and dead scar tissue from the previous one. Since the operation, I still have been experiencing pain. A week ago yesterday I had an injection of steroid and cordizone put together. I talked to Dr. Collins last night and found out that for eight weeks he is wanting to try something that is called Alcohol Injections which will numb areas that I can feel still and cut feeling to those areas so I don't have pain anymore. Any ways that is what it should do. So lets see if this works. He did say that with the pain level I have been having I should be popping out a baby so he thinks that I should be able to handle the pain that is going to come with the injections. Dr. Collins has been the best Specialist I have ever known in my lifetime. So today I make my first appointment that will be for the next eight weeks. It will most likely be either be on Monday or the following week sometime.
