update on David..

[AmyMyBlueFront]

Talked to the surgeon today...his foot is getting worse,skin is dying even tho he is getting blood flow to the tissue. Doing plastic surgery won't help because it's just too far gone. David realizes and accepts the diagnosis as do I and his son Joe. Surgery will be by end of the week,probably Thursday.

Prayers for my best friend please.

Saw him today he was in ok spirits..The Doc told him he is just waiting for an operating room and an anethstegiologist to become available..seems there is a shortage of them since Covid has taken it's toll on our poor medical professionals..
Now the doc is looking at Friday or Saturday for surgery.

I'm so glad you were able to see him, and that he seems to be doing okay.
I am so happy that you are there for him, that must take away some of the worry he is facing.
I hope they can get him an OR soon.

As David put it...."the ax man cometh tomorrow" 10:30 am....sighhhh

Sending massive prayers his way tomorrow in hopes of an uneventful surgery.

Jim, wish David a speedy recovery. My Mom went thru the same ordeal, and with our help she recovered nicely, in fact danced at my brothers wedding. Please let me know if you or David need anything!

So good to know that David's surgery went well! Joining the chorus of well wishes for a speedy recovery for him, and sending many more hugs and love to both of you as well!

Sending massive healing energies for David's recovery. You as well Jim, assisting David through a challenging rehab period.

 

[AmyMyBlueFront]

Saw him yesterday as he was being wheeled into his room. A bunch of nurses doteing on him making him comfy.. He'll probably go back to rehab tomorrow after they make a mold for a fake leg...that'll probably happen today. He said he hasn't looked at it and wouldn't let me...he cried and hugged me...said he just want's to go home and see BB.


Jim

 

[wrench13]

Yeah I know that feeling well Jim. After my 5 way bypass, and being in hospital for 2 weeks for that, I had another 3 weeks in rehab. You just want to go home! Tell David chin up, stiff upper lip and all that! Amy and Beebs will wait for him!

 

[AmyMyBlueFront]

I talked to him this morning,the doc is pleased with the out come. He was moved back to the local rehab this afternoon waiting to be fitted for a leg. His demeanor is pretty good but says it hurts like heck. Probably see him tomorrow. The rehab allows pets, its suppose to get in the 60's Wednesday or Thursday..BB will go on his first adventure

Saw David yesterday...he is over whelmed and is in a lot of pain He's doing PT learning to keep his knee straight which is essential for proper fitment and alignment for when he get's a leg. The people who will supply the leg called while I was there. They are going to send a rep to see him who is also handicapped so he can see first hand what it's all about. He was told the sooner the better but he still has staples in his leg that wont come out for about two weeks. He has a brace and a tight "sock" that he needs to wear constantly that bothers him..he has lost about 40lbs and I'm guessing cause they are feeding him proper and he hasn't had his daily three glasses of wine or whiskey!

BB can't visit The staff there are clueless about Parrots. I was asked if he has all of his "shots"..I told them birds don't get shots..then I was asked if he was vaccinated from the bird flu,I said he's not a duck or chicken,he's an indoor companion parrot! Then I was asked about his medical records which I have.
The girl talked to her supervisor then said because of covid he can't visit,when I questioned about the little ankle biter doggo I saw there last week and said "oh covid doesn't apply to him?" she just walked away not answering....grrrrr
