The time for miracles has run out. They're going to amputate my leg Wednesday (tomorrow) afternoon.

*hugs*

*hugs* and prayers all goes ok and that you heal quickly...

Keeping you in my thoughts, EW.

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow! Hugs!

Fingers crossed for you.

My dear EW, my prayers are with you! GOD is with you all the time, just believe it and HE will be there! Let's trust that you will be fine! Love form me!

I'm so sorry it came to that EW. Big hugs your way. For what its worth i had a friend in a similiar circumstance a few years ago that lost a leg as a result of infection and other complications following a motorcycle accident and he was glad once he was healed up. He had been in so much pain for so long (like maybe a year or longer) he said he actually felt better without the damaged limb and was back to his old self resuming activities he had given up during all thr attempts to save the leg within a few months. I have faith things will go that way for,you as well. You'll feel better than you have in ages and resume your life. There just aren't enough hugs i can send your way!

Hugs!

Thank you all. Your encouragement means so much to me!

I hope the surgery goes well and that you heal quickly, EW.

How are you feeling? I've been thinking about you...

wonderful pic, Springie, Dr. Condor would make anyone feel better instantly

Thanks, KT! It's an old one, but I thought it would fit ...

How are you EW? Thinking of you and hoping all has gone well and you are on the road to recovery.

Right now the surgeon is concerned about my skin coming together and closing the wound. The skin wasn't in the best shape, so he's afraid the (*I can't help shuddering at this*) flaps will return to their original position. Other than that, they've finally got the pain managed, and I'm now a little loopy from the meds! (What fun!)

Glad to see you made it through EW, and that they're doing what they can to keep you comfortable.

Hoping you catch a break!!!

hope it heals well, EW

In the meantime, I'll keep looking at that awesome pic from Springie!

I hope the drugs are so good that Joe actually steps out of the picture to tend to you! Hope you heal quickly!

Ah, if only I were that lucky, Springie!

EW, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope this becomes a positive move and you feel better once healed.

Many hugs and supporting thoughts! May recovery be swift and complete!

Big Hugs and love sunshine, with lots of prays. It's a good thing your a tough bugger I know you have the inner strength and we will be here if you need anyone to lean on xox

Speedy recovery, EW!

Great to hear from you, LW! (Been such a long time...didn't think I'd have to do something so severe to get you into a conversation!) BTW, I think your signature fits you well!

I don't know if I should be horrified or honored by that statement... The main thing is you look after yourself and get yourself better, you do what ever you need to do...channel your inner ninja or ruthless goon... you make sure they look after you...and if they give you happy drugs that make you dream of Dr. Condor..enjoy his bed side manner..even if it is slightly unorthodox and involved feathers...xox prays and hugs and any spare miracles I am try and jump on the site every couple of weeks to keep my birdy fix up

EW- your signature reminds me of a joke - The doctor told me I only had six months to live. When I told him I didn't have the money to pay my bill, he told me I could have six another months. Any idea when you'll get to go home?

No idea yet, Becky. It sounds like a couple of weeks, maybe

Sending you lots of hugs, EW.

Thanks, gang! Your support means a lot to me. Quick update: I'm back at Hillcrest Village. From the waist up, I'm chomping at the bit to get in my wheelchair and start racing down the halls. From the waist down...well, let's just say it's taking some effort to keep from tipping over when I sit on the side of the bed!

I bet! It must be strange, some of the things you have to learn or re-learn. Remember them for a fic or poem!

You can do it, EW! Give 'em hell!

You're having to learn balance all over again. Your strong will power will overcome it!

Adding my thoughts and prayers with the others that you have a speedy recovery, EW!
