Not a bad wk all in all (so far) ... some bumps in the road, but hey...

Tuesday coming home from UMMC Troll was just LOVELY (<---complete sarcasm) I was banned upstairs with the kid (eff this, eff that...etc) Made me sad b/c I had prepared cheese and meat tortillini...a garlic sauce for the cheese and a pepper tomato sauce for the meat...and garlic bread...

...The BIG surgery is tomorrow...we have to be at UMMC at 6am...I want him to get the operation and get back to walking so we can continue our life...but I hate that he is so far away from home, which means I can't see him all the time...hopefully he will only be there about a week then go to the rehab center which is close...

Looks like Troll's surgery (donor femur & whole knee) is going to be the 29th. We're both excited & scared. If this doesn't work then they will have to amputate...I believe with all my heart it will work. It has to. I think whatever was planned by whatever higher power in this whole tragedy happening (mine & my husbands relationship restored & him havng a...

Well, it seems as if there is finally some progress to Troll's situation. He goes in this Tuesday to have the remaining pins taken out. 3 wks after that (they have to heal) he will be back at UMMC doing the cadaver knee/femur on the right leg...supposedly they have a whole basement freezer full of the things....creepy.....

Damnit....the boss is back... heard the car lock.......

Feeling kinda scatter-brained lately. So many things I'm wanting to do. So many ideas. So very little time. Between work, commuting & taking care of the kid and Troll when I get home I have zero time for me. I want to have more time to exercise, draw & design t-shirts, teach my 80lb choco lab to walk on a leash before it gets ber...

Bleh...another Monday. Guess it's not so bad considering I had a splendid V-Day. My lil man & I got up early and cut out paper hearts and made cards for Daddy, Grandma & Grandpa. When Troll woke up I carried their gifts downstairs. They loved them. We watched Happy Feet after breakfast and Troll played with the wireless keyboard all day. He was in love...

I went w/ Troll to the Joint Replacement Doc yesterday. Shot the knee replacement option completely down...there just isnt anything left of the knee to make it work. No muscle or tendons to actually make a replacement function. So, sucks, but he has 2 options. Fuse it or amputation of some form.

As far as fusing it you can do that 2 ways.

One: Do...

......I'm still exhausted......

Troll went in for a follow-up to decide what to do about the R leg on Oct 28th. We found 1 of the plates was actually exposed under a scab on the inner L ankle and (damn diabetes) he had a staph infection. They admitted him that day and went in & cleaned the site a few times over the next few...
