Back again but permanent hard

I came on as "Mikesan" but so many changes took place that I needed "rebirth". Everything changed! I chose "Hardrod " since that is what I am sporting now. It took me a long time to come out of my shell and that is due to my surgery back in Dec. I was so excited about getting the implant with the best doctor around in NYC. There was a "glitch" and I should have been more attentive to it, but I wasn't and ended up in the emergency room. I spent 2 days in ER and had 4 blood transfusions due to internal bleeding. I still am not sure what happened and have numbness in my left foot. I am trying to get back to where I was before my implant, but I am having serious trouble. Those of you on Coumadin or Warfarin should watch out before you attempt this surgery. Anyway, I got this far and hoping that my implant will increase my quality of life. I wanted to swim in the ocean in Florida after the surgery, but I ended up in a bathtub. Anyway, I am hopeful that everything will work out for me and that the good Doctor Eid will resurrect me.

Wish you fast recovery from the ordeal.
My doctor told me to stop any kind of blood thinners before any surgery, even the smallest one (I am on 100mg Aspirin and Pentox)
What kind of implant you get?

Best wishes

I have the Titan which I have to be happy about since that is what was recommended to me by the doctor. If you are taking blood thinners you have to be aware of the risks that are involved. I thought that all bases were covered but post surgery things got nasty. I am still in the process of finding out what happened to me. It has given me pause.
