Where the hell have I been?

[ghost]

SO.

got divorced in December. had foot surgery number5 right before that, got a staph infection, mersa, and a bone infection from it... had surgery 6 in march to remove the screws... spent 6 days in the hospital then had a picc line in for 6 weeks. 6/6 I had surgery number 7 to remove the joint that was replaced as a last ditch effort to save the foot... didn't work.

6/15: Rt Leg BKA (Below Knee Amputation).
Spent two days in the hospital and came home Saturday.

One of the reasons the BKA was scheduled: nothing was working for the pain. additionally, my knee, hip and back were getting messed up from how my gait had changed due to previous surgeries. The first three toes never touched the ground. So, the 4th, 5th, and ankle were getting stress fractures constantly.


Next steps.

Tomorrow, cast comes off, Shrinker sock gets put on, with a test socket and temp prosthetic.

I have started a new IG if anyone is interested in seeing pics.

Ghost,

Brother you know if you need anything from us all you gotta do is say so. Sucks that they had to take it this far but hopefully this will get you back up and going. I can not wait to see what you do with new chapter in life.

This is awesome!

Not that you lost the leg.. or got divorced..

But the fact that you're moving forward and kicking ass!

It sounds like the worst is behind you now. The only way to go is up.

The real reason: you told the doc that Betty would get involved if he didn't amputate it.
