Vehicle Accident and AVN
Hello folks, hope all are well. I am doing well. Two weeks ago I was a passenger in a car accident. It was NOT a major one...I won't bore you with details but it happened and we were rearended. We are both okay but her car has some pretty severe damage. The car that hit us, thank goodness was not going very fast at all. Anyways, I wanted to share that with the FVFG performed on my LH Jan 04, I was scared that something happened. I can remember the doctors mentioning be extremely careful in vehicles and do anything to prevent accidents within the first year especially. Well I am a year and a half out but I was still paranoid! After all that I went through and something as simple as this has a possibility of taking it away from me?!
It took me about 24 hours to come to terms with myself to go get an xray just to make sure I was ok. A precaution. I am okay, thank goodness but I was hesitant to get them. You ask why? I had no symptoms of anything. No pain, no hurting, nothing. But then I looked back and revisited when I started to hurt, limp and contact doctors pre-op and I was at a stage 4b!!!!!! I always have to remind myself that my pain tolerance is extremely high and to reevaluate the situation at hand. I did and like I said, after 24 hours can to terms to get the xray, just to make sure. Sure enough I was/am ok but what a relief that was!!!!!
Every movement I made I thought...what was that?....was that a pain.... Did I feel something? Good greif! Bottom line, its always best to be safe than sorry.
All is well thank goodness again,

Hello. I am considering have a vascularized bone graft, and I was wondering if you could give me any advice. Where did you have your surgery done? Maybe you say more in your other entries. I will read to find out, but I would love to hear how your surgery went and if you would recommend it. THANKS
