Hi back, Bryanna
I am premedicating with Clidamycin and hope that it is sufficient. I didn't in advance last time, only after.
About the bone "harvesting"n I did ask about cadaver bone, coral or a synthetic implant.
I was turned down flat; they (the surgical group?) felt that they had the best outcome
with a patient's own bone. Just a lot more pain and another scar.
I was extremely nervous about the possibiltiy of two infections aftert the surgery.
Happily there was only one, at the site of the sutures, not the bone(s).
I will enquire about the immune boosting IV; I am in a difficult spot as my system
seems to be overly active with the immune system attacking nerve myelin and brain
tissue. I take Avonex weekly ( interferon-beta 1a) to depress my immune system and
slow the advance of the Multiple Sclerosis.
Thank you for the links to sites. I will do some more research before the proceedure.
I will post back later with any results. All the best, kami
