Walking Tall

I have been waiting for some good-solid progress before I've reported. Kathy visited Dr. Kureshi two weeks ago for her post surgery check-up. He was extremely happy with the overall appearance of Kathy’s incision. He commented, everything looked great with no signs of redness or infection. Kathy was greatly relieved when he removed the surgery staples.

Kathy’s feet are another story. She has been an absolutely disaster after her Achilles surgery and the effects of her foot nerve damage. Her local physical therapists were just not helpful. Ladonna, Kathy’s sister was extremely helpful. Ladonna posse’s extensive Chiropractic knowledge in these areas and got proper treatment into gear. Ladonna ordered in house treatments, special walking braces and assisted walking. Kathy was much improved in just a few days. Why can’t we get the same level of help from the orthopedic surgeons?

We applied to get her back into Sharp's out-patient therapy for longer term therapy. We feel Sharp is the best option for her long term rehabilitation professional care.

Overall, Kathy’s shunt operation is much improved over the last week. She seems to get fewer headaches and other complications. Unfortunately, some days, she still gets bad headaches which are extremely difficult to manage. With the daily assistance of her visiting parents, things have gone much smoother. WE hope on her next appointment with Dr. Kureshi, he can adjust her shunt to optimize its performance and eliminate the headaches. I will post you up over the next few weeks with new information. To To Lo!
