Can you give the BB an overview of what's going on? We really care about y'all. Praying for you!
Ok Lil, I finally got a little bit of time on my hands. I'm still going to give you the highly condensed version. Lots of mixed emotions and events involved leading upto and during the initial surgery but that's for another discussion.
IC was originally scheduled for surgery today to have the cancerous section of his femur removed, bone graft and plate put in. Tuesday morning, we were both at home...IC was coming down the stairs and as he took his last step (onto THE leg) his leg broke. Our cancer "team" had informed us that a break was a remote possibility due to the bone being weakened...just never imagined that it could/would happen while walking.
The surgery was performed that day and so far, it has been deemed a success...things in that area appear good. Yesterday morning the concern was raised about blood clots that had formed due to the trauma caused by the break (the broken bone was exposed....eek!!) so another procedure was done to insert a filter to trap any clots from reaching his heart.
Fast forward to today. The doc's decided that a clot that had formed in his lower leg would be best served by surgically removing it so....surgery #3 happened today.
IC is currently resting well. He has a very long haul in front of him, just to see the edge of the woods...but he's progressing.
