Do they Care?

I will be having SAPL surgery after a long haul of research, consultations, appointments, therapy, etc., etc.

I am having a very hard time emotionally. I just get this feeling that the caregivers are so nonchalant, like yah well talk about that when you come in for the pre-op. They could never answer my questions; i probably have a hundred.

Hi again. If you use the search option (click on the little magnifying glass, top right) and put SAPL as your search, any posts relating to the subject will come up. One of the members ‘snaomi’ had the procedure done a few months ago.

Hi caveman. I have had this surgery on my left leg 1.5 years ago. Am going to have my right leg done on Oct. 24th. Perhaps I can answer a few of your questions. I am very open about my experiences before during and after. Will answer any questions I can.

Regards,

Sharon

The problem is that each patient`s recovery is different, while the Doctors and Nurses do their very best the can not predict the outcome of surgery
