The patello-femoral joint :

no no no ..... - - Posted by rowens_folly (rowens_folly), 21 January 2005

Oh my God!!  My surgeon just ruptured a disc in his neck & had emergency surgery- I was supposed to get my fulkerson's on feb 1 & now it either has to wait a month longer or be with his partner on the 9th...  I'm going crazy!!!  everything was set with work, disability, leave time...  everything.  I can handle this- I can.  His partner is also on the who's who list for surgeons in connecticut, I just can't believe the whole plan just got thrown of course- I was READY, & now I'm on hold again.

Sorry that this happened to your doctor, what a bummer, certainly was not a good day for him either....  

It is not that much a difference in timing though if you have the surgery with his partner, maybe this will work out okay............you would only have to wait 1 week longer........

Good luck with your decision, let us know how everything goes.
