2nd OPINION

MONDAY we went to a second opinion on Dakotas foot   Although  i am not sure that i heard anything more at least i can say that i liked the doctor.                           I THINK WE WILL STILL GO FOR A OUT OF PLAN  ASSESSMENT

THIS DOCTOR SAYS IT COULD BE UP TO A YEAR BEFORE THE SCAR TISSUE ALLOWS THE MUSCLES AND TENDONS TO HEAL AND LOOSEN HIS TOES AND HE AT LEAST SAID THERE WERE THING THAT COULD BE DONE-- HE ALSO ORDERED A NIGHT CAST TO HELP STRETCH HIS FOOT AND WANTS HIM TO WEAR AN ARCH SUPPORT TO HELP THE BIG TOE.

WE WILL CONTINUE PHYSICAL THERAPY AND HAVE A RETURN APPOINTMENT IN 5 WEEKS --SO AT LEAST I FEEL LIKE HES DOING SOMETHING--HIS NAME IS FRED ANDERSON IN PODIATRY AT KAISER IN THE NEW FACILITY AT VINEYARD IN ONTARIO. MARY ANZIANO HAS BEEN A DREAM AS WELL --SHE HAS ASSISTED ME ANYTIME I HAVE ASKED HER  SHES IN FONTANA AND IS A NURSE PRACTIONER. KUDOS TO BOTH

FOR NOW DAKOTA  CONTINUES TO COMPLAIN THATHIS FOOT AND TOES HURT AND IT SEEMS TO BE THE HEEL ,THE BALL AND THE TOES I JUST CANT BELIEVE THAT ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING   DOESNT HE HAVE ENUF TO DEAL WITH --WITHOUT HAVING SOMETHING WRONG WITH HIS FOOT AND LEG???

IT HAS  STRESSED  ME OUT AND BEEN SO EMOTIONAL FOR DAKOTA . TWISTING HIS HAIR CHEWING TOWELS BEYOND RECOGNITION  AND I CANT TELL YOU HOW MANY NIGHTS WE SAT UP AND HE CRIED ABOUT HIS FOOT NOT BEING RIGHT AND THAT HE WAS GONNA BE CRIPPLED FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE  AND ALL OF IT WAS SET OFF BY A BEHAVIOR BEFORE HE BROKE DOWN ABOUT FOOT

SO  A LOT OF THE STUFF WE HAVE BEEN GOING THRU HAS BEEN TRIGGERED BY THIS STUPID ACCIDENT-- OOOOHHH LET ME SCREAM!!!
