RE: Dear Diary: I may have to see an orthopedic surgeon

in #philippines7 years ago

Ma'am Linda, you are my number one supporter.
With all my heart I am thanking you for what you had done for me.

I am optimistic but still worried on what the doctor will say and I will just hope for the best.

Sort:  

What are the chances of you having the surgery? They will be focusing with your heart and your kidneys. We can hope for the best results for you.

Yes That is also what I am contemplating about.
Years of hypertension just made my heart grew larger than normal. The there is the kidney problem.

What is your opinion @immarojas ?
Will they operate on me?

I have sent patients before for heart transplant...all were rejected because their kidney functions were abnormal, they were not even on dialysis. Medications needed for surgery will also need healthier kidneys to metabolise them.
The next question will be...will your heart tolerate undergoing such a major surgery. All these will be explained to you by your surgeon. It is not a surgery to correct an organ, but surgical pre-assessment will check the heart and kidney functions.

Thank you.
If surgery will not be an option, at least I just want the progression of my condition to stop.
Maybe there will be a medical way tto do it.

You might need dentures kuya if it can't be stopped . it will help u eat.

sayang ang ngipin ko.
Ang ganda gand pa naman dati at buong buo.
Now all crooked and unusable lalo nasa front teeth,I can't eat corn on a cob anymore and my favorite alimasag.

You can eat those with dentures ano ka..plus they can be re-shaped if need be.

Yes I think I need some extra teeth now.
