A was rob and got shot at home during july 2006. It's a one shot that when thru first to my left wrist, then to my left side of my hip, thru the left femoral artery, then thru my left upper inner thigh. I was rushed to the ER. The thing that the doctors did during the surgery was to take a piece of my vein from my right thigh and replace it with my damaged femoral artery in my left thigh. I lost > 30 pounds while staying > a week in the hospital. I managed to recover the function of my left thigh. I can walk and stand; I could run, but it looks more like a brisk/power walk.
Does anyone experience this kind of thing?
I'm still worried that this replacement vein might come off.
I will be glad if there are any medical professionals or other people equivalent professions share their views, knowledge, or experience.
