Next Surgery Date Set

Suzanne’s next surgery date has just been set. The revision of her left leg has been healing successfully, while the right leg has largely been ignored since she was released from the hospital in February. This is in part due to the desire for continued physical and occupational therapy but also to allow some sores to heal. Because she had a staph infection on the end of her right leg, the surgeons did not want to introduce this to the operating room. Now that she has recovered from the Staph, the revision for sculpting can proceed. The date has been set for Tuesday, August 26th – which is still a month away. Hopefully this will be the last leg surgery needed before proceeding to prosthetics. However, the surgeon has indicated that due to the shorter length on the right, he may need to do two small surgeries instead.
