take a stab at this

I HAD A DOC APPT LAST WEEK WITH A DR. DAHL A ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON, WHO LOOKED AT MY KNEE SITUATION. IVE KINDA BEEN GETTIN THE RUN AROUND WITH OTHER DOCTORS BECAUSE NONE OF THEM SEEM TO WANT THE CHALLENGE OF GETTN MY LEG BACK TOGETHER. I WENT EVERY WHERE, DR BOYD WHO IS THE HEAD ORTHO FOR THE WILD AND TIMBER WOLVES, DR. LAPRADE THE HEAD ORTHO AT THE U OF M, THESE WERE HIGHLY RESPECTED DOCTORS. NOBODY SEEMED TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO. FIRST I WAS WAIT EN FOR A ALLOGRAGH WHICH IS A LIVE BONE TRANSPLANT. IM MISSING ABOUT A 2"X2" CHUNK OF THE UPPER LEFT SIDE OF MY KNEE BONE(FEMUR) DUE TO MY MOTORCYCLE CRASH WHEN I GOT T-BOND BY A 16 YR OLD GIRL WHO RAN A STOP SIGN DOING 40MPH. MEANWHILE I WAS DOING 60MPH AND NEVER SEEN HER AS SHE STRUCK MY LEFT SIDE, KNEE FIRST. MY LEFT LEG WAS DESTROYED, 12 BREAKS IN THE LEFT LEG ALONE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE TOES. ALONG WITH A SEVERE COMPOUND FRACTURE AT THE LEFT KNEE, NOT TO MENTION ALL THE LIGAMENTS AND MUSCLE THAT WERE COMPLETELY DESTROYED. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE HOSPITAL THEY RUSHED ME INTO SURGERY, WHERE THEY HAD 2 BACK TO BACK 6 HOUR SURGERY'S. A MAJOR ARTERY IN MY LEG WAS NOT FLOWING THROUGH TO MY FOOT, AND THEY WERE ASKING MY PARENTS IF THEY COULD CUT IT OFF. EASY TO SAY BUT SOMETIMES I WISH THEY HAD.
BACK TO MY POINT, THIS DOCTOR DAHL WHO I HAD GOTTEN 2 REFERRALS TO SEE, GAVE ME SOME PRETTY CONFIDENT WORDS. NOT BAD BUT CERTAINLY NOT GOOD WORDS, BUT HE AT LEAST HAS A PLAN AND SOUNDS VERY INTELLIGENT. FINALLY I FELT LIKE I CAN START TO AT LEAST STEP FORWARD IN THIS LIFE LONG STRUGGLE WITH MY LEG IM ABOUT TO EN DOUR. THE ALLOGRAGH WAS WANTED BECAUSE ITS RATED FOR A LONGER TIME THAN A KNEE REPLACEMENT WHICH IS ARTIFICIAL. THEY SAY BEING ONLY 24 MAKES IT WORSE BECAUSE I GOT ALOT OF ROUGH LIFE TO LIVE COMPARED TO A 60 YEAR OLD GUY GETTN A KNEE REPLACEMENT. SO THEY THINK THAT EVERY 5-12 YEARS IM GONNA NEED A REDO, SADLY EVERY TIME YOU DO ONE IT ACHIEVES WORSE AND WORSE RESULTS. WHICH COULD LEAD TO STRAIT BONE FUSION WITH NO MOVEMENT OR EVEN AMPUTATE EVENTUALLY, I GUESS ALL I CAN DO IS DIE EARLY.
WELL THIS DR. DAHL SAYS THE TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT IS THE WAY TO GO BECAUSE THE ABUSE ON MY KNEE SO FAR HAS DAMAGED IT ENOUGH TO WHERE NOW ITS NOT JUST THE LEFT SIDE, ITS THE WHOLE KNEE. ALL THE WALKING AND COMPRESSION IS WEARING IT DOWN. HE PLANS TO TAKE OUT THE HARDWARE, BOLTS AND RODS THAT ARE CURRENTLY THERE NOW. WHILE DOING THIS HE WANTS TO HAVE HIS PARTNER WHICH I HAVENT MET YET, FIX MY FOOT. WHEN THE TRAUMA HAPPEND THERE WERE 6 BREAKS IN MY FOOT THAT WERE OVER LOOKED, MY FOOT IS VERY PAINFULL ALL THE TIME. ITS KINDA DEFORMED LOOKING NOW BECAUSE IT KINDA FOLDS INWARD ON ITSELF. WILL WHEN THEY DO MY HARDWARE REMOVAL THEY WILL DO THE REQUIRED BONE FUSIONS IN MY FOOT ALONG WITH PINS IN MY TOES.(OUCH) THEY SAY ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE ILL BE WALKING ON THE FOOT, ONCE THIS HEELS HE PLANS TO DO THE ARTIFICIAL FULL KNEE REPLACEMENT, WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A PRETTY SURPRIZENLY SHORT RECOVERY. HE SAYS MY RIGHT KNEE IS SHOWING MAJOR STRESS FROM ME FAVORING MY WEIGHT ON THAT KNEE ALONG WITH MAJOR POST TRAUMATIC ARTHRITIS THROUGH OUT MY LOWER EXTREMITY'S.PLUS THE BACK PAIN, HAIR LOSS, MEDICAL COPAYS, DENTAL BS, BATTLE WITH PAIN PILLS, BOREDOM, BILLS, BILLS, BILLS, PAIN AND ROAD BLOCKS IN THE LOVE LIFE.... IF ANYBODY KNOWS OF ANY MIRACLES I COULD USE ONE ABOUT NOW.
