Got a call Friday saying my surgery has been moved up!
BG: I have a cluster of varicose veins in my leg so bad my foot gets no circulation really at all, and i have a wound about 2" in diameter that has been open for almost two years now, since anything from my knee down never heals. The wound got so big after a botched surgery. Needless to say it has impacted most of my life, work, kids, even social gatherings, because blood pools in my leg and doesnt have a way out. My calf is always swollen to twice its size (cannot even pull up some track pants over top of it) and hurts...all...the...time. Hell even after smoking a joint, the pain goes away, but it feels like im lifting 500lbs. Also, if i get a little pin prick even, all the blood pressure causes blood to POUR out, like...it once shot all the way up a wall onto the ceiling of a room i was in and once i smacked it on something at work at the dealership and had a pool of blood around me in the parking lot that
My doc also discovered that two major veins in my leg are leaky, compounding the issue, and may be linked to crohns disease (already had a team of docs testing me in another city for that, and treating for it, but then they just kind of stopped and never gave me any follow up...)
Basically i was expecting an OR to open up next year, but someone canceled and now i get in Wednesday! Id post before/after pics but not sure if thats cool or not, it might be yucky to some people.
Im nervous, and itll mean 2-3 weeks in bed, but should make the family happy. I know my fiance is happy that she doesnt have to worry so much anymore, especially when i went back to welding against my doctors recommendation.
