My knee is still fricked up. There's a bone "subsiding" into the wrong place. It's all very confusung, I think because the geometry involved is actually complicated and not easy to show on a piece of paper.
Finally got all the darn sutures out and now I'm back to square one.
Long story short, they're gonna redo the surgery. I didn't ask too many questions because I wouldn't have understood the answers. But I guess this means back to cute nurses bringing me ice cream and graham crackers on demand for a few days.
Some of the damage is permanent. Certain muscles were just completely destroyed. So I'll be even more crippled than I was before.
I really hope I don't turn into Greg Abbott because of this.
Oddly enough, I actually kind of want to live though. So many people have helped me get through this. Maybe they had a good reason to. Maybe I can come out of this a better person. Maybe I can turn from a mean, bitter old cripple into a content, friendly old cripple. Maybe I'll invite some of you f-slurs to come here and go to Powell's with me and hear my stories about Portland before it was a shithole.
Powell's. The City of Books. One of the few places in Portland that is actually worth seeing.
Or maybe that's just the oxys talking!

Just get them to replace the whole thing with a titanium rod. That's what they did to my old boss's shitty fricked up knee and he loved it so much he was begging them to do the other one.
Reject defective flesh and bone, embrace your cyborg future.

I got metal in there now... which apparently they're going to take out and move around or something. I don't even want to know all the details.
One of my favorite possessions is a titanium rod they put in my hip and later removed. It's got a little chunk of my bone lodged in it so it's totally badass.

Are only your legs fricked up? Hows the rest of your body doing

Obviously my brain is in pretty bad shape if I'm posting here. But other than that I'm okay.
Fortunately this happened in my left leg that was already hurt from a long time ago, so I've got a strong right leg.

Will you be able to walk afterwards, like with a cane or something?

I think I should be able to walk mostly okay when it's finally healed, but that's something like 4 weeks from now.

What did you even do?

I got compartment syndrome and it destroyed some muscle. My understanding is this is basically when you get lots of swelling in an enclosed area or something.

It's heartening to see your determination to live fully and the appreciation you have for those who support you.
Maybe you needed the past surgeries to have a change of mind, or maybe I'm just coping.
Whatever, get well soon king.

Between the pain, the drugs, and getting moved around to different places I've at least been knocked out of my rut.

Hello fellow crip!
I slipped on black ice and fell and fricked up my tibia about three weeks ago.

and you needed four surgeries? wow! do you have a preexisting condition or smth? that's really rough, i'm sorry :(
i have had surgery recommended for my issue but i'm really nervous as it is very complex, painful, and has a LONG recovery time where i will be wheelchair-bound

I had one surgery but there was so much swelling it took two more to jam everything back inside. I imagine it was like trying to stuff more things into a full suitcase. Now they realized the first surgery didn't work so they're trying again.
Make sure it's in the winter. Nothing is more infuriating than being unable to walk during the summer.
