Well, dear friends, as some of you know, I have been incarcerated since

2/24/04 for knee pain and possible infection of the stability pins in my

right

knee.

The ortho ordered several nuclear scans and the news came out today that I

have developed a case of osteomyelitis. Surgery has been scheduled for

11:30 am

on Thursday to remove the pins and see how much he has to clean up. He

plans

for me to be here until Saturday and then discharge me home with IV

antibiotics and home nursing care. Today was also the first day that he has

EVER

possibly mentioned amputation. My knee is quite red and swollen and the

actual

infection activity was confirmed via the nuclear scan.

My diabetes has also gone out of control, probably due to the stress of my

situation. Sugars have been running consistently over 300.

I will try to have Vickie post a quick note once I am out of recovery. I am

in the same hospital that I was during that 4 month stay before I went into

cardiac arrest, in fact I am in the same ROOM as I was that they rushed me

out

of on my way to SICU. Ron and Vickie kept saying don't you remember this

about

the room or that and the more that they asked my questions about it, the

more

I cried because those months are gone from my memory.

But I have stayed in this room and fought the daemons. The direct number to

this room is

954-545-5498.

Today, was the first day that I really saw a concerned look on my surgeon's

face. One of the other doctors told me he did not sleep all night last

night

as they called him with the positive results.

Well, I should get some rest before my big date. Hopefully, it will be ME

that posts the

update to the group. Remember, that I love you all and know that your

prayers are going with me tomorrow into surgery.

Gentle, tender, angel hugs,

Debs in FL

[Guest guest]

Oh, Deb! Prayers are always forthcoming for you, and I hope they can clean

it up. I'll try to give you a call on Friday, once you've had time to rest

post-op. I love you, dear friend. You've come so far. hang in there.

Love and prayers,

Debs,

My heart goes out to you. You've been through so much, and had tp put up with so

many idiots out there. I'm glad your surgeon sounds like a compassionate man.

Best of luck to you.
