I did the blood work on Monday and sent it off to Chicago. Not sure how long the results take?
Dr Nguyen stated he would not proceed on my other leg until my already replaced leg is healed. Not sure what the symptoms are if you are allergic but I am really tired of pain. It is just as bad as prior to the replacement.
I feel for you...I am confident Dr. Nguyen can help you through this. I think my test result took about a week, but I am not sure. Hang in there and keep positive!
