Thanks, it does change your perspective a bit - when I first had the major amputations we were in the local pub and someone said they had a disastrous year, his wife had lost her job and their dog had died. I replied mine wasn't up to much, either - I'd had two major amputations and I'd lost £40,000 in less than a year when I sold the house. It went rather quiet.

It gets worse. Tuesday, if not Wednesday the leg comes off because of the infection - if I'm lucky, below knee. :shock:
I will have no internet for quite a while, so please excuse any unanswered posts. Hopefully when I get to a smaller hospital by now they'll have caught up with the world.

Oh ****.
Not the news I wanted to hear about you Phil, was hoping the last op would be the last one for a long while.
Keep that positive attitude you have. I'll be thinking of you.
All the best my friend.

 

[Random Orbital Bob]

May your discomfort be mild and your recovery fast. Keep your chin up Phil and the very best of luck.

 

[RogerS]

Oh man...puts all my problems into perspective.

Hope it goes well for you, Phil, me old mate. Thinking of you.

 

[acewoodturner]

Best of luck mate. I have followed this thread for a while and I am amazed at your fortitude and 'never let it get me down attitude.' This thread should be compulsory reading for everyone.

I rarely comment on much..see post count..but I am compelled. Courage in the face of adversity, is inspirational. My thoughts are with you, also.

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Many thanks to those who have posted their good wishes. I'm home again eight days after the op. It was pretty decisive - it is a near perfect low beneath knee amputation according to one consultant.

Who needs feet like that?

Much less pain.

 

[finneyb]

Good that the pain is reduced
Best wishes
