I'm glad someone found something positive about this surgery. I call it "Valentine's day gift to his foot". lol

and Kmeb, what do you mean Anaesthesia is harder with the PN?? What should he be looking for?. Alan has had foot surgery before and it was just fine.

And the odd thing was that they gave him pain meds for afterward, and he never needed to take a single med. His feet are completely numb (except for of course the PN pain between certain toes.

And about the ivig and the operation. We don't even know if he gets to get another IVIG treatment. they now demand a $500 co-pay with each treatment. That's not going to happen. Of course we are talking to people.

If he gets approved, (and the surgery is on the 14th of Feb), when's a good time to get the IVIG??
