Hello everyone,

Welcome as always.

As you know, I do not allow horror stories on this website, so I will not bore you with the anxiety I have endured in these past nine months concerning complications in trying to arrange a total hip replacement surgery. Simple enough these days... some say, except for all the law suits.

As it turns out, the reconstructive surgeries from my accident in (1979-1980) did not work out as planned. It progressed from bad to worse in a nightmare of escalating pain from which I was told there would be no escape. No sooner did the darkness of Morgellons lift then my deteriorating hip began to "rain on my parade" and seriously interfere with my efforts to serve others.

A few of you have experienced the diminished limits of my patience as I have endeavored to continue serving amidst growing pain and frustration. For that I apologize, but I can truly say that my heart is in the right place. I believe in this protocol, and it is difficult to watch people suffer when they are unable or unwilling to fully commit to getting better.

Finally, as it always eventually does, light broke through the storm clouds and brought with it renewed hope for a chronic pain free existence and another shot at walking and. dare I say. dancing! The first good news is after two wild goose chases, the third doctor finally explained to me everything that really needs to be done.

AH HA!

I need two separate operations:

1) We must remove all the stainless steel from my pelvic bone, two screws and a plate. Not many doctors in our country specialize in removing metal from old fractures. So Dr. OG is making arrangements with a specialist surgeon to perform the first operation.

2) If all goes well, then a couple of months later he and a colleague will perform my hip replacement with Titanium.

The second good news was when Dr. OG said I look much better than my x-rays. He made me laugh. He explained that the more doctors are learning about metal toxicity, the more careful they are becoming. He said that the stainless steel was the probable cause of my long battle with psoriasis.. Worse than that is these metals are not compatible at such close proximity and would within a few years be dangerous.

But at least it's true.. when I look in the mirror, I do look better than my x-rays!

I will keep you all posted as things are about to happen.

God bless you all, Never give up HOPE!

MEL

Mel,

The only thing I can do is to pray to God to be with you and your surgeon, when he performs the operation.

I wish you all the best and please, let us know how you are as soon as possible.

God's love is with you forever.
