Update!!!

*Please note not for the squeamish*

So, my surgery on Friday was to remove the recurrence of my round cell myxoid liposarcoma in my ankle. The plan heading into the surgery was to be somewhat conservative and try to spare the nerves and vessels in my ankle. Thus, giving me the best chance for the best function, accepting a small increased risk for recurremce.

However, when they started operating it was obvious that that plan wouldn't be possible. So, they moved onto plan B, sacrificing the nerve and artery. The plastic surgeon performed a nerve graft and then transferred a free skin flap from my thigh.

Although this isn't what I had hoped for, everyone is positive that I will have a reasonable functonal reponse in time. Plus, there is a higher likelihood that all the tumor will be gone this way. Therefore, I'm growing to be OK with it.

While yesterday I said it felt like I was hit by a Mack truck, today I have some of spunk back! Intakes a lot more than this to hold me down!
