2 week post-op appointmentMy 2 week follow up appointment was on Thursday and it was the first time I had left the house since coming home from the hospital. My dad dropped me off at the front door to the hospital and I crutched all the way into the building and up to my surgeon's clinic. By the time I got up there I was shaking, light headed, nauseous and severely out of breath. All these symptoms were associated with extreme anemia, due to blood loss during surgery. To combat this, I was prescribed a hard core iron medication called Ferrex to help my body replenish my blood volume.
Other than that, things were healing well and Dr. Mei-Dan was pleased with my progress so far! My next appointment will be in 4 weeks, at which time he'll determine if enough boney union has occurred for me to begin physical therapy. Fingers crossed!
