Six months later.
Linda is checking herself in the hospital, to be able to perform pen retrieval surgery on her leg.
He felt that his condition was fine, so the pen had to be taken immediately. So that it does not slow down and cause something unwanted.
This is due to the risk, if the pen is not removed from the body. In some cases, the metal component in the pen can trigger irritation in the tissue around the bone. This condition can cause bursitis, tendonitis, or other complications.
Linda just didn't want that to happen to her. Who still want to be healthy and can do everything normally.
She also still wants to get pregnant, to complete her marriage together with Romi. And Erli had also charged him, to be able to have a sister just like his other school friends.
"If you are ready, we can do the examination now, according to the history of the operation that you used to do. So we have to do certain stages, to find out where the pen was installed yesterday."
The doctor who handles Linda, gave an explanation of what she should do before undergoing surgery to take pen attached to her leg.
There are several things that need to be done before undergoing pen-laceration surgery.
So, Linda must also follow the examination in accordance with the procedures performed by each patient. Namely, undergo a medical examination 1-6 weeks before undergoing surgery, such as doing blood tests and electrocardiogram (ECG).
The examination is not always done directly in the hospital, but can also be done by phone.
Linda will be admitted to the hospital on the day of surgery, but in certain cases, may have to stay overnight in the hospital a few days before surgery.
Be sure to tell the doctor about the drug‐ medication that is being consumed and follow the doctor's directions. Before undergoing this procedure, avoid the consumption of blood-thinning drugs.
As one of the health procedures for bones, of course, this operation has health benefits.
The benefits of pen-off surgery procedures are to reduce the pain and discomfort caused by the installation of a pen. Helps to cope with infections that occur around the pen. Prevents pen from getting stuck and lost between bones in the body. Prevent annoying pen if you are going to perform other surgical procedures.
Patients who do not want to undergo pen removal surgery, can relieve pain and discomfort from the pen by taking painkillers, avoiding pressure on the pen, and, and keep the area warm when the weather is cold.
Patients can also deal with infections in the area around the pen while taking antibiotics.
But in some cases, patients can not cure the infection without surgical removal of the pen.
Basically, this operation is very important to do, especially if the doctor does perform pen installation only to overcome a temporary condition.
This means, the possibility is very large for you to experience the consequences of not having pen-last surgery, such as having an infection.
Infections that occur in the area around the pen can also damage bones and soft tissue. In some cases, the infection can make the patient sick.
For that, you better discuss with your doctor if you want to decide not to undergo this examination procedure.
While undergoing this procedure, the medical team will provide the form that you must fill out as a patient first. The form contains the patient's personal data and the procedure you will undergo.
Your doctor may use some anesthesia techniques in this procedure. Generally, this procedure lasts for approximately 30 minutes.
At that time, the doctor will remove the pen through the same incision when the surgeon first inserts the pen into your body.
Usually, the doctor will have more trouble finding a small screw or wire type pen. Therefore, the doctor will make a larger incision and use the help of an X-ray camera.
In addition, the doctor may also find it difficult to find a pen that is covered by scar tissue or bone even though the pen has a larger size.
Every surgical procedure has its own risks. Usually, the surgeon will explain all sorts of risks that may occur post-surgery.
Common complications that can occur after surgery are as follows, pain, bleeding, infection in the area that received surgery, wounds on the skin, difficulty urinating, and, blood clots in the leg or lung area.
If there is a failure to lift the entire pen, damage to nerve tissue, weakness in the bones, stiffness, excessive pain, loss of movement function in the arm or leg.
If the patient experiences any of the complications of pen-release surgery as mentioned, immediately consult the condition to the doctor. Do not procrastinate because it will only aggravate the complications experienced.
In addition, apply home treatments that may help reduce symptoms or side effects after undergoing such surgery. That way, you can speed up the recovery process from pen-off surgery without having to feel various complications.
However, make sure the home care you do is safe for bone health and is in accordance with the doctor's advice. Do not perform home treatments without clear direction from your doctor. (From various sources)
Linda, who was accompanied by Romi for the examination, listened closely to the explanation given by the doctor.
He also did not want if something happened to his wife after the operation later. So he who will take care of him at home, must come to know and understand what will be done to help take care of his wife later.
Now, they are encouraged to go home thinking about what decision they will take after the initial examination. Therefore, the surgical removal of the pen, must also get mental readiness for the patient himself.
"How's Deck?" ask Romi to make sure.
"Linda ready Mas. But after the surgery, Linda could not do anything more for the next few months. You see Linda has to get used to the absence of pen and there must be initial handling and supervision as well. Mas Romi can do it alone without the help of linda for a while?"
Linda is more worried about Romi, who will certainly bother to take care of herself, Erli and also work outside the home.
"It's okay Deck. Or. We invite mother and father, to accompany you and Erli. What if I had to work?"
Linda thought for a moment, before giving an answer to the question posed by her husband. Because with her mother and father here, it will also be more troublesome for her husband.
Although she did not mind the arrival of her mother and father, but she was also not happy, because thus her husband would be more troublesome about daily expenses and others as well.
Especially during the operation in the hospital, surely Romi will not do any work.
Although the workshop has been done by others, but Linda still felt bad, if she had to trouble her husband.
But before Linda gave an answer, Romi had contacted her sister, Danang, to inform her parents. In order to immediately get ready to go to the big city, to accompany Linda who will undergo pen appointment surgery.
..."Ms Linda when is the operation Mas?" ...
..."Maybe two or three days ahead. But after the operation it was more troublesome. Because he couldn't do anything first for some time. So, Mas asked for help from father and mother, to come here to accompany your mother, also accompany Erli."...
..."Yes Mas. Later Danang tell father and mother yes." ...
..."Oh yeah, if you don't mind and Della wants to come, can she come with Nang? Or you can take time off, so you can come here too."...
..."Yes it is that easy. We'll think again." ...
...'Oh yes Nang. Thank you yes!"...
..."Yes, I am, the same."...

Romi smiled at Linda, who could not believe that her husband had invited all his family members to come to his house here in the big city.
"Mas, is it okay they all come?" ask Linda to say.
"Nothing Deck. They all must miss you and Erli, right?"
Linda smiled with tears, as she felt haru for her attention given by her husband. He really felt very happy, with everything he already had at the moment.
"Thank you, sir."
Linda thanked him, with a tight grip on Romi's hand. Replied with a smile and also the hand of Romi. With one hand on the other, so that one hand Linda, was on the two hands of her husband.
