A lot has happened since I last wrote a blog and much of it not so good.  If you follow me on Facebook you already know all of this but if you don’t then let me catch you up.. On Wednesday of this week My leg started to swell and I started have a lot of pain. By 1500 hours I could no longer put any weight at all on the leg. I called my Orthopaedic Doctor’s office, explained the problem, and made me an appointment for 0845 the next morning. By roughly 2100 hours on Wednesday The sore on the back of my leg at the incision site and ruptured and was oozing puss.

I got to my doctor’s office and he walked in with his usual great bedside manner and to quote him; “What’s going —- Holy Hell!” He told me that he would be be operating on me that morning and that it may take several surgeries because it was that infected. He sent us to Deaconess Midtown Hospital and said he would meet us there. By 1330 he had operated on the Achilles Heel area and had to remove some of the Achilles Tendon. He scheduled my next surgery for Saturday morning to go back in and continue to clean any infection out. Friday morning I held my self-pity party and you would not have wanted to be around me. Remember, we were supposed to be leaving for Las Vegas today, and Jon’s High School graduation this coming Wednesday. Instead, I’m in the hospital raining everybody's plans.

Saturday morning came and I went back down for the next surgery. This time he ended up taking the entire Achilles Tendon. Tomorrow afternoon I go in for hopefully the final clean out, and with luck I will get to go home either Tuesday or Wednesday.

That’s it. —- That’s my life. God is good, I’m alive and I have wonderful doctors to work on me. I do ask for your prayers. Peace
