Mom Up-date.



My mom is a big BIG Danielle Steel fan and has many of her books, however, I managed to find two of them that she doesn't have for one of her Mother's Day gifts. Mom went to the specialists again today. None of the skin graphs or medications have worked and they must amputate her foot very soon. I will keep you all posted in here. I had my day in the hospital today too, shuffling around here and there. Many years ago I hyper extended my left ankle and they need to fix some things but after mom's "routine surgery" I am very reluctant to even consider having anything done. I also want to express my deepest gratitude to all my friends for the heartwarming birthday responses. I judge the fullness of life by the number of people I can say that I know as friends....

Thank you so much. He has a plan but sometimes the plans don't go as we would want them

Brett, sorry to hear about your Mom's continuing health problems. I wish nothing but the best for her, and am really saddened to hear about amputation as the only resort.

She sees another specialist next week sometime. I got too faint talking to her to remember the date.

    Is better to chop it off instead of having all the poisoning infections running through her body damaging other body parts. She can always get another foot. Good luck to her.
    Hugs....
This MRSH virus is eating the bone in her foot and ankle.

I am just devastated and don't know the full extent of their feelings.

    Not bitching, but it's MRSA. I got it in a small wound in a hand 2 summers ago, am missing a finger now, instead of the whole hand, or death. Have less strength in hand, but doing good & still working full time. Pinky no longer works much, but it still works well for nose picking! lol.
    Your mom will be fine, she's just going through another hurdle. You've made her out to sound like a tuff lady, she's a strong person.....
My mom is ruff & tuff .. I have inherited these traits but am at a loss for appropriate words at this time.

Now she has the time for leisurely reading and these should keep her occupied.

I can't imagine what it must feel like to have a foot or other body part amputated. My thoughts are with you and your mom; hoping for a complete success.

I am just heartsick at the thought of this happening to mom and with this weekend Mother's Day.

Thanks Jack... I am so pissed off that the surgery was to just be a "routine" deal... What a god dam mess.

Thanks so much. For my B-day I had kind of wanted to just go into Chicago and fool around a few days with my friend Alex but with this latest turn about with mom I probably won't get to.

I try very hard to keep up with a daily post in here to relax at the end of the day but I might just get bogged down with planting, JD and mom.
