You have all of our hands to hold and all of our arms will be around you to help you thru this. Hang on to us and us our strength to make you brave. You have to be brave - for your hubby. He is probably more scared than you are. Prayers for the Dr. to give you some hopeful news. And more prayers to help you and hubby make it thru everything you are facing.

Jeannie,
I am sorry you and your husband are having to deal with this. Prayers are going out that he will not need to have it amputated. I hope you get good news as you are probably at the doctor right now.

LOL that did make me laugh.
Maybe I should go and mow mine.

Thank you for the positive thoughts, but he is 74 years old and has had a stroke and his balance is not good on two good feet. I don't think a prosthetic is an option for him.

Jeanie - I, too am reaching out to hold your hand. You can cry with us whenever you need to.

Remember that whatever happens might mean making adjustments in life, but attitude will always determine success.

Little Bit · 08-03-2007, 10:13 AM

Jeannie,

Praying for the best whatever happens. Please know we are here for you. Our thoughts are with you. Be strong.

JeanieK · 08-03-2007, 10:16 AM

The news is, there is no blood at all getting to his foot. The Dr ordered another test to find out where the blockage, so when they have to amputate they know how high to go.

If the blockage is high enough, there is a chance that they could do bypass surgery and that might work, but he has had this done before so I don't know if he has anymore good veins to use.

It is really not a matter of IF, but WHEN. It's only a matter of time before the tissue on his foot begins to break down due to lack of oxygen.

My stomach is in a knot right now. I need to pull self together. Two of my girls are coming this after noon, and I'fm afraid of having a melt down in front of them and the grandkids.

Sometimes just 15 minutes of quiet and calm can recharge your spirit...when life pushes you push back, don't forget to do that for your self, your husband is going to need you....

I wish I was there right now to give you a great big hug and a shoulder to just cry on. I can't tell you everything will be okay, but I can tell you that I'll always be here for you......

Again, I'm so sorry for you. My gma has diabetes & has had a bypass before. They couldn't do as many as they wanted to because she didn't have enough good veins. That's such a scary situation to be in. You just need to believe that no matter what happens you'll still have each other & you'll still love each other. I'm so glad that your girls are coming to be with you today and that you do have a support system through them. I'm sure you'll be strong in front of your grandbabies, but your daughters will understand if you cry in front of them. They will want to help you in any way and if that means letting you cry on their shoulders I'm sure they'll be glad to be able to comfort you. They can't do anything about the situation but they can be there for you and your husband. I know I wouldn't want my Mom to try to pretend that she was handling it okay just for my sake. They'll know how scared you are even if you don't tell them. You've comforted them many times, let them be there for you now when you need it so much. I'm sending more hugs and prayers your way. Please know we're all here for you.
