I have a close friend whose son was wounded in Iraq. He suffered miserably
with a severely messed up leg for well over a yr. Very long story. He almost
died from an ant bite on the leg at one point. They finally amputated his
leg... higher than it should have been due to the long delay & multiple
infections. He can not believe the difference it has made in his life. He is
doing incredibly well & wishes it had been done much sooner. I hope this
story, helps you thru this tough time.

Ahoy Paul,
Thank you very much for your concern. A support group would be wonderful.
How can I find out if there is one in the Biloxi Mississippi area?

I wish him the best. His situation is exactly the same as mine. My surgery
is scheduled for just about the same time. I've been fighting the problem for
almost a year and it's time to solve the problem and move on, as drastic as
that sounds. The risk of infection (especially the MRSA, I'm fighting) is life
threatening. There are many support groups to help him though this time, I
volunteer in one.
Take care!

For those who are interested.
Jan's son David has lost his fierce fight to save his! foot. Damaged in a
motorcycle accident, it was broken into three pieces. After months of
intense pain involving multiple bone and flesh surgeries, a record number
of hyperbaric treatments, painful skin grafts, PIC lines, and almost daily
medical appointments an intractable infection has set into his bones and is
moving up his tibia. His foot will be removed mid-calf on May 9th.
Jan and I wish to thank everyone who have expressed concern for his
well-being.
