After her last surgery, where the doctors were attempting to give her a walkable foot, everything appeared to be going well but at her last doctor's appointment, they were debriding the wound and found bone that had turned black. Not that it makes a difference now, but if she had taken care of herself years ago, this never would have happened. But now, we have to deal with the present and look to the future and God only knows what will happen now. If and when she ever leaves the hospital, her house is a bi-level and will, and has already, caused problems for her. The whole situation is just an incredible mess. So I know, and understand, about family making you nuts. -- Piggy's Pad

In reply to: Sandy 's message, "I didn't, thankfully, break anything but my big toe and the toe next to it are black and blue, along with the bunion area of that foot........and this is my bad ankle/foot anyway. Not walking isn't an option but boy, it's sure been painful. I was trying to protect my left wrist when this happened so by trying to keep from re-damaging my wrist, I buggered up my foot quite badly. I've asked Gerry to take me out to the back 40 and shoot me but he says no. On top of that, my older sister is back in the hospital and will have her lower leg and foot amputated on Tuesday. She had her foot operated on oh, about a year ago, and has been struggling to get it to heal (diabetes)." on 1:43:57 pm, Sat, 02/16/08

To top that all off, we're in another winter storm watch for tonight and tomorrow. We'd just gotten rid of the previous 9 inches of snow and had bare ground. It's just starting to rain now and the weather guys are calling for heavy rain but by about midnight, it should change over to snow. We're not supposed to get that much snow (about 2-4 inches) but the winds are supposed to be strong and cause blizzard conditions. We've done our running for the weekend and are now burrowed in, just waiting for the weather to happen. This winter has just seemed already to be exceptionally long and I know that right now, we're about 10 inches ahead of normal/average for our snow. Me??? I'm ready for spring.
