Sukoshi's Mom · 09-06-2007, 05:59 AM

Oh Jeanie! I am so very sorry to read this post. By chance, are there any rehab facilities near you that allow furbabies as well? I'm sure that would make a huge difference for your husband! Good luck with everything!! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.

I am still praying for you both! Please don't give up hope!

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.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Please take care of yourself while you are going through this. The nursing home will take good care of your husband and most of them let their patients have visits from their pets! ai will be thinking of both of you and pray that things will work out for the best.
Hang in there.

Jeanie, just wondering how you & hubby are doing. You're still in my thoughts and prayers.

Jeanie,

I am so sorry as I just read your post to update. Keep strong my dear .. we are here for you. I am still sending lots of prayers and thoughts for you and your hubby.

What about the suggestion for a rehab center closer to your house that allows furbabies? Or maybe a live-in nurse? I don't know... don't give up hope. there is always something.

cj125 · 09-10-2007, 04:34 PM

JeanieK · 09-11-2007, 12:42 PM

Thank You all for your thoughts and prayers.
I am finally able to have a few moments to myself. My daughters have been here helping me so I could spend as much time as possible at the hospital

My husband made it through the surgery OK. He is doing well. They removed his leg at mid thigh, so not much is left. they wanted to go where there was good blood flow to improve the chances of healing.

His heart was a major concern, but it did fine. He has some pain, of course, but not nearly as much as he was having before the surgery.

Now that the surgery is behind us we can start to move forward. He has a lot of hard work before he'll be strong enough to come home.

The Lord has given us the strength to make it this far, I think we can make it through the rest of it.

Thanks again
Jeanie
