Hi long lost world of bloggers. For those that have been following my blog & wondering how I have been doing for the past 8 months, my apologies for not writing. It has been a long recovery this time around but I am doing well & keeping busy. If anyone is interested in knowing more, &hellip Continue reading »

As everyone knows by now, everyday since I was re-admitted to the hospital, I was looking forward to the day I could go home. When I was able to start walking or wheeling out of my room, the first thing I would do is look toward the exit doors and head in that direction. Some &hellip Continue reading »

I did it!!! Today I was able to walk with my crutch…twice. It hurt like heck but I loved it. It’s so nice to get off my bottom for the first time in 16 days. I haven’t seen myself in the mirror yet but I’m convinced that my hips must be bigger due to my &hellip Continue reading »

Wow!! Were we ever blessed with a beautiful day. Days like today are capable of renewing our spirits, making it possible to endure what little bit of winter that we may have left. I was able to get up to a wheelchair today, wheel outside and spend some quality time with my father. What a &hellip Continue reading »

I’m up…I’m up!!! As I’m writing, I am sitting up in a wheelchair, completely ecstatic. I wasn’t sure when I’d be able to get up because after my dressing change yesterday, we were missing a few items to stablize my new leg. The incredible staff here on C5, despite being super busy as always, pursued &hellip Continue reading »

All the bandages and tubes are officially out….yay!!!! My new leg looks fantastic and I am very excited. There is one tiny spot that is necrotic but it appears to be superficial & the team is not too concerned. My wonderful surgeon, however, wants to be extra careful and is being uber conservative with my &hellip Continue reading »

Sorry but I have no new news to report. The docs removed 2 out of 3 of my tubes yesterday, (JP tubes for the nurses following this) but weren’t able to take down my dressing siting no time. They said they’d remove the dressing & the last tube today but we are still waiting. I’m &hellip Continue reading »
