I don't know if the F word (as in fixators) has you nervous or not but if they do I am here to answer any questions, I'm pretty much an expert in living with them. And I bet Gerri's fixator will look pretty close to what I had on when you say me in March. I'm glad Dr.vB is killing two birds with one stone and doing the hip surgery and the osteotomy to start the lengthening in one OR setting, hopefully easier on Gerri in the long run. And lengthening at her age versus after she is done growing will hopefully make her bone growth fantastic. The upside to a fixator over a spica cast is she should be able to bathe and swim within 1-2 weeks of surgeries. And water is the key to healing the pin sites. Seriously I sat in the shower for 20 mins at a time letting the water run over my leg. (although duck tape non-slip shower mats all over the edge and bottom of your tub or you will have black marks or scratch marks all over)Tracey S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00830027288769196047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7732758317510291570.post-78955218549693010432011-05-08T00:56:38.861-04:002011-05-08T00:56:38.861-04:00Nancy, I'm finally catching up here after givi...Nancy, I'm finally catching up here after giving up my google reader for Lent. :-) I can't believe all that you, Gerri and your family have been through.
