I had to go to the surgeon this morning. Blahhhhh. More test. More needles. More pain. However, after he conferred with one of the previous doctors I've seen, and they compared testing results, they have come to the conclusion that there is obviously still some ink in the tissue around the bone in that area that has got to be removed.....somehow. The actual plans were to remove some more tissue and then try another skin graft. But after finding that there is still ink in the area, which is still doing damage to my tissue and nerves because I am so highly allergic to it, those plans have been halted.
Although I am slightly relieved to know that they THINK they have figured the problem out, I am still frustrated because I'm still in the waiting game until they can figure out how to handle it. I'm just completely exhausted mentally and physically. The pain I am in has taken it's toll on me. The fact that I have had to give up A LOT of my independence, such as driving, is driving me insane as well.
Anyhoo....that's the latest update for those that have asked. If I seem "standoffish" or bitchy, please forgive me.
Hugs to you all,
Mary
