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....

Thank you. I keep telling myself that. If I am devastated, how hard it must be for him. He needs me to be strong and reassuring. So I will try to save my melt downs for my YT family.

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.

Thank you
As mothers, we are so used to being the rock for our children, we forget to let them be the rock for us.

Awwwww Miss Jeanie !! You didn't tell me about that yesterday !! i'm sending you all my thoughts and prayerz to the both of you !!

Betty'sMom · 08-03-2007, 11:02 AM

When I was a little girl, my Grandma had diabetes and she had to have her leg amputated several inches above the knee. She lived in NY City, in an apartment on the 4th floor...no elevator. She was around the same age as your husband. Well, when she returned to the apartment, she tried to be her old cheerful self! She was born in Ireland and loved to sing Irish songs. I just loved to hear her accent. She would give herself daily insulin shots (in the part of the amputated leg that was left). She would just wince for a second and then smile and move on! She seldom left the apt. after that...it would take two men to carry her in a kitchen chair down the stairs. But her children and grandchildren would visit and shop for her and occasionally have a drink of whiskey and a song to share! She lived for another 10 or 12 years! And she was happy! Good luck to both of you! I will say a prayer in memory of my grandma for you. XO

I am so sorry you are having to go thru this and I will certainly keep you and your family in my prayers. My husbands best friend in the world had his leg amputated just below the knee. He was in his 70's and bless his heart he had lots of supporting people around him and he came thru it really good. His prosthesis never felt good so he seldom wore it but walked with crutches and rode his 4 wheeler. Kept on working with his horses. He and my husband spent hours daily together building, welding, taking care of chores. So even if the worst happens, keep your chin up and help hold your husbands up too. I will be here to hold your hand if you ever need me. Patty

OoO I'm so sorry! I hope everything goes well at the doctors and that they don't have to amputate it!
