Hehehehe, I was reacting to a comment I got from another group about me telling people what was going on. Someone was being nasty I guess.
Thanks Frank & HeyYou. As the time gets closer I'm just getting more nervous. I will be glad to be rid of hurting all the time. I will keep you all posted as things go along.

That's a decision I don't EVER want to have to make....... I do not envy you.. You will be in all our thoughts and prayers here though. We are on your side man.

Best wishes and hope everything goes smoothly! Not saying this to get you anymore nervous but something you need to talk about with the anesthesiologist. Years ago i went in to have surgery and when i was in post op i woke up paralyzed. I was freezing cold and couldn't move a muscle or tell anyone. When they "knock you out" they give you two drugs one to put you to sleep and the other to keep you from moving during surgery. When i woke up the drug that paralyzed me still did not wear off yet. I was totally awake and could hear the nurses talking. It's truly a freaky experience! There have been people who woke up in the middle of surgery and couldn't say anything. There was a program on tv on the subject and you have to ask the doctors to hook you up to some machine so if this happens they will know. When i had to go in for another surgery i made sure the anesthesiologist knew about my last experience. If they happen to ask you if you have a choice of pain meds tell them you want Dilaudid. It's awesome stuff!

Hi all,
I hope this is okay to put in here. If not admins then please tell me where to move it to or delete it.
So I went to my Pre-Operation & Anesthesia appointment on Friday. I learned a lot, asked a lot of questions and got things firmed up some more. I am going in on 14 May 2018 to have my lower right leg amputated. So my Jeep and the engine are being put on hold for another year and maybe longer. It will depend on how well I am doing and how well I am walking with my prosthetic. If I am doing better I will work on the motor but if I am not then I will wait until the year after.
Frank you had offered to come up and help me get the engine done. I thought I wasn't going to be going in for surgery until the middle of June but when they offered me this surgery date I couldn't turn it down. I'd be going in even sooner but I had to get things done around my house and have things ready for this.
So I will post on here once surgery is over with and I am feeling well enough to post.

Once I am up and getting around again I'll let you know. I'm sure a second set of hands will be a welcome help when the time comes.

A friend of ours (Matt) lost his arm, and ended up designing a new wrist. I don't know if they are doing anything with legs or not. I hope you find one that fits and works well for you. Thank you for your service. God bless you.

Hi everyone,
It took me a little longer than I thought to get on here. Surgery was on Monday 14 May so it has been 6 days since then. The first couple of days were pretty painful but things are getting better each day.
I go back to see the doctors on Wed 23 May for my first check so we will see how that goes and I'll know more than. Everything is fine and we just had a birthday party for my daughter yesterday. She had turned 16 on Wed 16 May which was the day I came home from the hospital. So we had some friends and family over yesterday and had a little party for her.
