    Surgery in the AM

    My leg and I spent a wonderful last day together today. We kept busy so as to keep my mind occupied. It's been a good last day and included doing Pilates one last time, visiting with Dakota my son and fixing the truck. You have been a good leg and you will be missed, thank you for all the years of support!

    No Sir, non-diabetic, the cause is Charcot Foot Disease.

    I was looking at a similar situation not that long ago . It's hard , I opted to try and save it . Many times have wish I had chosen to go with a prosthetic . I understand where your at .

    I am praying for a successful surgery , a quick recovery time and short rehab period . GOD is with you . I am optimistic .

    God speed to you my friend. A Marine buddy of mine finally had to lose his left leg at the knee from Agent Orange creeping up his leg from `Nam.Robert

    Well, I may get flamed for this, but unfortunately, we have decided not to hire you for our next butt kicking contest.

    Best wishes,

    You might consider making a lamp out of it, like on "A Christmas Story". "It's a major award".

    With your great attitude, It looks like you will be fine. You are a better man than me. I hope all went well.

    May God watch over you as your physicians do the job that will lead to your healing. I pray that He guides them and allow them to do what is best for your healing. Lastly, I pray for comfort and speedy healing for you. AMEN

    Prayers for a speedy recovery and do not push it, let things heal before trying to use a prosthetic. Friend didn't and it cost him the rest of his leg from infection
