Worried...
I had a RAKA done just over a year ago due to osteomyelitis. I have been struggling a lot but felt there was a light at the end of my tunnel because I could learn to use a prosthetic and get back to some of my old hobbies I absolutely loved doing that I haven't been able to do for many years like camping, hiking, going to the beach, even just doing yard work lol. I have been working some with my prosthetic and slowly getting better but the pain in my stump has been getting so much worse deep in my bone. Thursday I saw my trauma surgeon who deals specifically with infections and he is convinced that with a bunch of scans and blood work I still have osteomyelitis maybe up all the way to my hip and was told he might have to take most of the remaining femur. So I guess that means I won't be able to use a prosthetic and get back on two feet again... correct? Instead of the light at the end of the tunnel getting closer it feels like it's getting further and further away....
