Joe, sorry your loving wife had to lose her foot but you still have her. There will be some big adjustments for both of you and she will need to follow the doctor's advice and do what she needs to do to take care of herself. And take care of yourself also and try to get some rest. Continuing to lift both of you up in prayer.

Reading this is like reliving the past - not in the same illness or procedures but the helpless feeling when a loved one is having medical problems and you can only be there but can't do anything about it . A slow progression of any of these things and watching or living with someone as some disease or condition slowly changes another's life - and you are powerless to change of stop this . Prayer helps yet it is for understanding and for relief part of which is for changing a outcome we know the results of will change both yours and another's life . I sat and read a interview the wife had with a doctor the last time she was in the hospital - he asked many questions - and recorded her answers - it still moves me the courage another has when they know things they will not share or tell - even or because of that bond two people have - or is it one has for the other .
May all work out in ways you and wife can deal with - and with the Lord's help can face and enjoy tomorrows together in a way to be comfort to you both

I'm sorry for all the pain both you and your wife are going through. I hope for both your sake's she has learned her limitations and you are able to keep her on the straight and narrow. Also I hope you can get a couple good night's sleep while she is recuperating! Then maybe you can work on some of your stuff.

Well surgery was delayed for other more serious cases but finally started at 4 pm and lasted 2 1/2 hours. They took her leg off bout 6" below knee. I never got to visit with surgeon as he went right into another surgery. This hospital does not allow visitors into recovery room so we finally got to see's her at 8:45.
She did cry bout the foot bein gone but does understand the whys. Just hope she wants to change her habits to avoid this again.
Dang i AM tired and plub wore out and ready to get home and work on my junk,,,,,,,,

Joe. sorry to hear this bit of disappointing news. More prayers sent for you and your loving wife, especially that God would guide the doctors and nurses to choose the best course of treatment as they care for her. It is at times like this that we have to lean on Him and trust in Him. May our LORD give both of you peace, comfort, and strength as you go through this trial. Continuing to lift both of you up in prayer.

has she had her pancreas removed Joe? I think it's the pancreas...I knew a couple of folks that had theirs removed and it fixed all that, one had already had one of his legs below the knee removed and the other was pending, then they removed his pancreas and he gots better, then discovered that if they had done it sooner, he may not have had to have his lower leg/foot removed. big lawsuit on it right now. the other person had hers removed and she's on the mend now too, still hafta take a hand full of pills and eat differently, but able to keep all other body parts. ask about it. again...i'm not sure if it was the pancreas, if I remember right!

Sorry it is turning out this way Joe. The good thing is by losing her foot, she will save her life. It's going to be a tough road to hoe for both of You. May God provide the peace and comfort required and complete the healing process after the amputation. God Bless.

Dang it Joe, that's not the best news. But you be sure the Mrs. gets one thing perfectly clear: it ain't about leaving the hospital with a foot, it's about getting rid of the infection and getting healthy and happy, and a lousy diseased foot ain't got nothin' to do with that. Work on that attitude. If she can retain or regain a positive attitude about her life from here out, that's the most important thing. Prayers and best of luck to you.

Well DR JUST LEFT ROOM AND WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNT is trending up slowly which is not good.he told me amputation is scheduled for Tuesday.
She is aware of what is coming but has not commented any. Dr told her that her chances of recovery are much greater after amputation.Diabetes has just done too much damage to her foot.
I did ask bout the Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment and he says that is only effective when started early and. would not help her at this stage
Many. Many thanks MY FRIENDS. when i get to feelin low. I know i can come here and talk to people that really care.

Talked with a Nurse last fall that works with Diabetics at a clinic in Coldwater Mi. They use Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to treat non heali g wounds and infections in diabetics. She said the results are amazing. I don't know if there is a clinic near you but you could try a search.

Hey Guys...well.wife has progressed as well as the Dr hoped....but the infection in the bone is keeping her body from healing like she should and the antibiotics not able to get ahead of the bone infection which in turn is holding up recovery of her kidney function.
The Bone Specialist and the Podiatrist will see her first thing Mon to determine if anything else can be tried to keep from having to amputate her foot. They have told us losing her foot is high probability.
She.s not out of the woods yet and after the Dr explained how the bone was keeping her from improving more...maybe taking that disiesed bone off will save her life.
We.ll know tomorrow. Many many THANKS for all your concerns and Prayers.

DJ, I woulda embellished on what that nurse had said...  Glad to hear she's is doing better by the day, and that you got some rest. Like Klinemar said, "growing old is not for the weak!" which reminds me of today, I was helping the nephew get his excavator batteries changed out and cable connection cleaned up at another fellows place... the fellow says, "boy I felt good when I was 40 years old, but it sure feels like hell when I got to be 45... an my nephew says to him, "yea, wait till your 50... It won't be as much fun then either".... there was a few seconds of silence and I turned to them from tightening the batteries in an said, "wait till your a ways past 60..." and turned back to the batteries.shaking my head and laughin at them.

Many. Many heartfelt THANKS for your prayers and well wishes.
