I honestly don't feel that he will ever come home again. After surgery he will be moved to a rehab facility, aka Nursing Home.
It takes two strong nurses to get him on his feet and into a chair, there is no way that I could help him by myself to go to the bathroom or get in and out of bed. He is not young and strong. He is very weak with a bad heart. The Dr said he feels there is less than a 50% chance that he will ever learn to use a prosthetic. It is difficult for him to get around with two feet I can't imagine that he will be able to do it on one foot.
I doubt he will have much of a will to live if he can't come home to his furbabies. those dog are such a joy to him.
My life is about to change from every thing I know as normal. It will never be the same again. I am sooooooooooooooo very sad. |
Jeannie I am so sorry his foot can not be saved. Please don't give up hope
for him to come home. After therapy I am sure he can come home. What
about a visiting nurse? He needs his furbabies to keep him going. Dogs
are physical as well as mental healers. I am sure after you have had time
to absurb all this change something will work out for him to return home.
Prayer's coming for both of you to be strong and get through this tramatic
time in both your lives.
