Well what was suppose to be just a minor re opening of the wound and a "wash out" of a hemotoma resulted in a 1 1/2 hour operation, they found 2 blood cots, a bleeding nerve and they also removed one of the screws and repositioned it, on closing they injected the area in her back with a cocktail of drugs to include, steroids, ant-inflammatorys, morphine, etc.
The Result...Kelly's pain on return on a scale of 1-3 , was 3 but the pain in her leg was gone. She was told she had to try and sit up within 2 hours, well not only did I get Kelly up during that time but she also managed to get out of the bed and take a few steps, with a "Pain Free" leg, just call me mean Dr. Vic.
It has been some 10 hours since the op and from my last conversation with Kelly (1 hour ago) the pain in her leg has NOT come back, let's hope this is still the case in the morning.
Kelly has had very little sleep this week, hopefully tonight she will get her first restful one and soon be able to return home to her Hubby, who misses her dearly, and "Millie" our Staffy!
Special note of thanks for your comments, please keep them coming
