It's been a little over 3 months since the toe amputation so time for an update. The toe amputation was surprisingly the most uncomplicated operation I've had in a very long time. Everything went smooth even the healing. I still deal with phantom pain periodically but it's not that bad. I find...

Thanks to everyone for the prayers. The memorial service was last Saturday. With my dad's passing in January, it was expected. Anthony's wasn't and is a little harder to move on from. Again, thank you for the prayers. -Ed

Last night my nephew, Anthony was hit while crossing the street. The driver was speeding. Anthony died on the way to the hospital. He was 28 years old and was on a business trip in another state. His family is stunned and devastated. I never mentioned this before but back in January, my dad died...

Many deaths lately for your family. Praying :( How did your wife's surgery go?

I will always have some love for this game even though I haven't played it regularly since 2012. But I know the April 26 will be 10 years for the game. I began playing it only a couple days after it was released in 2005. Has anyone heard if Anet is commemorating the event?

Hello, CGA. Update: Stitches came out on Friday. No issues. My foot doesn't look that bad without it because the 5th toe seems to be migrating inwards. There's a reason for that but I won't get into it. But as a result of this migration, it forced the 4th toe, which was already fused, upwards...

Condolences for the recent loss of family. Sorry for the difficult times you're having right now. You and your wife will be in my prayers as well as those left behind by your aunt.

Here's an update. I've been staying off the foot for the most part. I did notice that there kept appearing new blood through the bandages. I called the hospital yesterday. A nurse advised to ice the foot and elevate for 20 minutes each hour. I think the bleeding is due to the type of skin graft...

Thanks for the prayers. The operation was successful with no issues. This was outpatient surgery which was a first in a long time for me. The first night was the worst. The pain was a 10 and almost prompted a 911 call. The pain emanated from the amputation area but also from the areas where...

Hello. Here's the latest update plus yet another prayer request: t's been a little over 7 months since the left foot was operated on. It's doing better but the overall size of the foot hasn't changed much as well as the skin graft. It's still large and rather hard. Still having a lot of...

Ask any questions you'd like. When the accident originally occurred, I almost lost both feet to amputation. My doctors tried to convince me that it was the best thing to do but I said no (Back then, I was so weak and depressed about it. If I lost both feet, I would have committed suicide). It...

Hi again, It's been over 3 months. A lot has happened and most of it hasn't been good. I'll summarize though. It's now almost 6 months since the surgery to my left foot. There's been complications with healing. So much that my 4th toe needs to be amputated. Yes, not due to diabetes or...

I love cats and dogs. I have a purebred ocicat who looks wild, is very intelligent, and has many characteristics of a dog. I've owned a dog in the past and just waiting for my health to improve to adopt a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling retriever. It's the smallest in the retriever line.

I've stopped eating many of the food types you described due to health reasons as well. I'm doing a lot better since that change over 2 years ago. It's difficult at first but hopefully your health improves. In dealing with my own chronic pain, I've read descriptions from people who suffer from...

The left was flat and the right was sideways/diagonally. The reason they're narrow is due to a lot of muscle, tendons, and tissue were removed due to damage. I've had more problems with the right foot over the years. It never felt right and still has pain. Too early to tell concerning outcome...

Ok here you go. In the spoiler are descriptions and links to x-rays and pics. I didn't include any gruesome pics but the scars alone have shocked others. So fair warning: Here's an update. I returned to my plastic surgeon last Thursday. This was due to the continued open wounds not...

Thank you. It's too early to tell whether the left will need another operation as I haven't begun PT yet. It has less hardware in it than the right but more surgical incisions were performed. Plus docs couldn't repair everything; the 4th toe, which had already been fused, needed work and they...

It's been about almost 2 months. Here's an update: I began weight bearing at about 25% weight on my left foot about a week ago. It's been painful. No pain meds work or I'm allergic to them: oxycodone, dilaudid, vicodin, morphine, tramadol, & percocet. Docs are referring me out to see a pain...

None Guild Wars 2 was a such a huge disappointment that I lost interest in MMOs after that. I've tried others but the interest is gone.

Hello, Hello, Here's another update. I was discharged from the hospital on the 4th of July. Now it's Monday and I've stopped taking the pain meds. Reason for this is it caused massive itching as well as a rash on my back and on my right bicep. A nurse suggested to take more Benadryl. It gives...
