feedback on titanium mesh

[DHJ]

   My Titanium mesh was removed 10 days after the AN surgery due to  a meningitis infection.I now live quite happily with a missing piece of skull.When I asked Dr. Barker about it he said not to worry that is the way we used to do it.    Peace Dave J

Saw Dr Tew this afternoon and he said he could not remove the mesh because it was too big a hole from the retrosigmoid surgery.   How to deal with it now that I know from Denver that I have an allergy to the Titaniu and the Nickel is a problem I have to  deal with.

I just re read a post that said Dr. Chen placed a piece of the mesh on her arm.   That was done at my allergist's office here locally.   Then I went to Denver to Dr. Pacheco and she said that was not the way to test and that you had to used a different panel than what the local doctor did.  If you are not having problems, then I am relieved for you.  I myself had bleeding and a raised rash on the panel given me in Denver.   I have inflammation on the surgical site and it is painful to the touch.
