Gwenna Osteointegration Story

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi, thank you for sharing your wonderful story. I hope in the next year or so to get osteo integration

Heart warming journey. You are a very brave young lady! I’m also on that journey, just had my second surgery 2 weeks ago. I also had the nasty sarcoma in my calf, so I know what that’s like also. My toughest obstacle is the phantom pain…the actual limb is doing quite well. I would recommend to others, Presbyterian hospital in Colorado with Dr Lerman and Dr Shner. So did you go right from amputation and rod insertion during first operation? My funny story is I was scheduled to have a normal operation for amputation in Texas, found OI on internet, called Dr Lerman in Colorado asked him if he could do this new procedure. He said yes, and I was in surgery in 10 days later. Just be your own patient advocate!

Did you get OI from Dr lerman?

@@amandalaikueiphan6348 Yes may30, second one Aug 30. Assaf is my mentor. I’m impatient with the progress, but should get the new leg soon. I hope you are doing well.

How was is it? Is Dr lerman did good job?

[@spinsecondserve]

Yes, Dr Lerman did an outstanding job! I’m going through the “bathroom scales” building the strength up. Still dealing with phantom pain so I saw neurologist Dr Barolat and I’m scheduling implant. I’m getting the C model leg in 12 days but who’s counting…lol.
