Well time to fess up, May 23rd I had my gram neg staph infected left ankle amputated, after 35 years of increasing pain I just was not able to walk on it any more. 1 month later it is healing very well and I no longer need pain killers or muscle relaxers. I will be getting my temp leg a week from Monday and start learning to walk again. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v133/TLEEF/LEG/IMG_0006_zpsvdycssp2.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v133/TLEEF/LEG/IMG_0007_zpsoxvi30oe.jpg)

Not the best, what needs doing when things like this happen, is to be the best man with one leg you can be.

TLee - truly sorry that I never knew you were dealing with that difficult injury and deep pain for such a very long time. It is good to know that the decision was good and the results so satisfying. Not a person here doubts that you will get into good locomotion quickly. Must say that I admire your stoicism over this long period - many of us probably would have been complainers.

T Lee,...I worked with a guy who had a bad lower leg. He was in constant pain and walked with a noticeable limp. He finally had it taken off and replaced with a prosthetic when he was in his late 50's.
The new prosthetic legs are pretty amazing. After a couple of months you wouldn't know he had it. He could walk much better with it than he could his old damaged leg.

I'm totally in the dark as to what caused this affliction! I know you'll overcome this and heal well. However, I have had left ankle pain, comes and goes, for about five years. I doubt we're on the same trajectory as I'm very near seventy three now and doubt I've thirty years left. (actually, hope not). Take Care!

Congrats on the successful surgery and healing. I hope you learn to actually run again. I am an old man I don't run, walking without a cane will be neat though. The tough part will be learning how to dance like a Cossack.

Strength and rapid healing, Old Friend !

T LEE - Sorry to learn of your staph infection - those be nasty - as well as the necessary amputation. BUT - am so happy for you to be free from all the debilitating, depressing daily pain you've been silently suffering. I really appreciate your jokes (well most of 'em anyway ) and hope for a speedy recovery and adjustment for you.

T LEE,
Hope you heal quickly. I miss the jokes. A blonde walks into an appliance store and sees a TV she'd like to buy. She goes to the register and says, "I wanna buy that TV." The man says, "Ma'am, I'm sorry, we don't sell to blondes." The blonde walks out and dyes her hair brown. She comes back in and say, "I wanna buy that TV." The man gives her a look and says, "Ma'am, I've told you, we don't sell to blondes." So she walks out and dyes her hair black. She comes back in and says, "I wanna buy that TV." The man gives her another look of pity and says, "Ma'am, I've told you three times, we don't sell to blondes." The blonde walks out and dyes her hair red. She comes back in and says, "I wanna buy that TV." The man gives her a very tired look and says, "Ma'am, I've told you. We don't sell to blondes." She asks, "How have you known I'm a blonde this whole time?" The man replies, "Because ma'am... that's a microwave."

Arrrrggggggghhhh matey, twas they easy way out really, it was affecting my right knee with extra wear and aggravating my back something furious. I am mostly pain free now and wonder why I waited so long! Sorry to hear of this, but delighted to hear you are near pain free and with us. I won't imagine what the last few months have been like for you, but they appear well met indeed! Prayers for continued healing and acclimation to your new circumstances.

good friend of mine suffered like that for years and finally did that in his later years. it greatly improved his life. he lived to a ripe old age after that and other than a bit of a limp you would never know it. best of luck to you and prayers for a speedy recovery and return to situation normal ASAP.

I guess I'm the odd man out, I don't see the problem. You can still ride in a boat with a rod hanging out the back, so you're gtg! Best wishes for a full recovery Terry.
