BKA Recovery
Hi,
trying to work things out in my head. I have had 2 ankle fusions. The 2nd was a sub talar done 8 months ago. I now have increasing pain and a bone scan showed unstable fusion, even tho all x-rays say it's good. Having a CT scan next week and then seeing Dr. I don't think I want to go through a revision surgery. I am beginning to think that a BKA may be my eventual option, and I am o.k. with this. Anything to stop the pain. My concern is that we have a big overseas trip booked starting in early July. This was booked over a year ago. What I want to know is, is there enough time to recover if I have this. All opinions would be appreciated. I want to be able to walk unaided for most of the time. We will doing a road trip for 3 weeks sightseeing, then a cruise. I have a good wheelchair which I will be taking, but I want to be able to walk for most of the day. Just gentle stuff. As it is I can only walk for about 1hr, then I am stuffed for the rest of the day. .
