tendon repair today
 

is not quite the same. It has become very sophisticated.

In order to extend the "muscle", you lengthen the tendon attachement.

One of my coworkers daughter had broken her foot, and the doctors then didn't treat her properly. So one tendon died and she was in alot of pain.

She had a laparoscopic procedure that fixed it all...minimally invasive, etc.
And she did not have too much pain either. Times have changed.

Thank you God, the heavens, AND MRS. DOUBTFIRE.

I was scared to death.

I'm still not telling him. He's too busy making rap videos.

I kid you not, he stood in front of the computer singing some neuropathy rap song. here's a sample....

My name is Alan C.

I've got Neuropathy. etc. etc.

He made up a whole neuropathy song.

You gotta love his sense of humor (especially since he never had one before).

lol

P.S. Mrs. D. do you think (maybe there's a slim chance), that this tendon thing, well, maybe when the ortho fixes the tendon, do you think there's a chance in hel* that his neuropathy pain (between the toes), might be lessened???
