sEphIrOth SG thanks alot... but however...the only 2 fears i have are needles and knowing someone is cutting me up. those 2 barriers are enough to scare me. i knw i dont have a choice...but i really am confused.
sEphIrOth SG and hor this doctor...very muddle headed one.... gave my mom 2/3 injections...went to pick a phone call...forgot about the third! we r considering better surgeons!
Zarks SG U dun have to be mentally prepared for operation.. plus wat kind of operation ? if its important enough for your health. u shud think it as priority. normally they wont let u awake when they do the operation, of course they scare u will go crazy when u see all blood.. im sure they wil give u some anesthetic or mayb pain killer lol to let u watch but feel no pain
RedizAlertz SG GO FOR IT!! Nothing matters more than good health & healthy function of the body..Money is equally important!! Therefore in ur case, if u dun operate soon, high chances tat u wll lose both!! So, go for it! Fear is juz a barrier to accomplish great things! Jia You!!!
dreamykite SG Seek advice from the doctor/specialist when to do the op. It’s your leg that is more important. Doc might let you decide. But dec and feb is quite late as now is sep. If can save the $$$ then save it, otherwise it ’s going to be a burden.
<Precious> SG GO FOR IT! You'll be glad you did and prouder of yourself after the op! Being on crutches for 1 whole sem is no big deal. Have confidence in yourself that you can overcome whatever difficulties facing you along the way.... Mental preparation is b/s. Do what you hafta do! All ze best!
sEphIrOth SG its... step 1 stitching back/ removing the torn meniscus step 2 removing a hamstring as graft for the ACL step 3 drill holes to tibia and femur step 4 attach hamstring graft to holes and tie step 5 use screws to hold them step 6 stitch the wound back
Darkness_hacker99 SG Hey, did you ask the orthopedics specialist which type of screw he's using. Last time I attended a talk on Medical Technology, it's about screws from different manufacturer have different quality based on lab test. Unfortunately I can't find that RJ for you liao.. deleted..
