Life Interrupted...

Today was to be the day of my husband's amputation. Again....did not happen. 

I can't believe that we have ANOTHER POSTPONEMENT!!!!! Due to an error on the part of the doctor's office staff (which they won't admit to and are blaming US for!) the surgery could not be done today, as he needs to stop two of his medications for 7 days prior to surgery. Of all the many people we spoke to preparing for this day, not one person informed us (excuse me, to use the words of the office staff, "educated us" -- grrrr!!) about the medications. Nor has any of this roller coaster ride been put in writing. I'm still fuming, if you couldn't tell. Sorry. 

Meantime, "they" (doctors, surgeons) have been so afraid of the infection in the toes getting worse, that they literally crammed us in for today's surgery. Obviously, in the middle of all the hustling to find him a spot on the schedule they dropped the ball about the medication. Well, suddenly, the infection must not be as bad as they have been saying all these past weeks (months, to be honest) because they now aren't getting him in until July 11 - more than another whole week!!! I had to call and ask for antibiotics AGAIN, so he's continuing them for yet another week. He has been on these things since the end of May when he had the stents put in his leg. 

The good news (seriously?? there really HAS to be some good news in all of this, right?) is that he can go fishing again at least one more time before the surgery.

Wow.

Please continue your prayers and good thoughts. We love you for it and it really means more than you can know. 

Much love,
