AOL EmailI am soooo sorry to find that you face amputation, but with your spirit and spunk, I know you will come out of this doing well. I hope you have “drop bye’s” in the next few days. We all will be thinking of you and praying for a quick recovery and an end to your pain. We love you. Janice

I hope that this finds you all well and in good spirits. It's been a long, long time since I have been in touch. I have no excuse, except that I have been spending a lot of time on Facebook. It is so easy to get caught up in all of the statements, comments, sharing, and posting that I let TMIC go by the wayside. Who is still posting here? How have you been? What have you been up to and where have you been lately? What have the latest TMIC topics been? What are you posting about now? I have been nursing a leg that is fractured above the knee. The bones are infected and necrotic so the only option I face is having it amputated. The surgery is scheduled for January 18th. It will be a long, drawn out surgery of 8 hours or more. I will be in the hospital for about a week, and after will have a 4-5 week nursing home stay. So, Dave and I are planning on a quiet Christmas and unless people come to us, will spend the day by ourselves. One of my nieces and her family lives within driving distance so maybe we will see them. Usually, we travel to see them. It will be interesting to see if they make the trip our way. So much for now, Love & Hugs, Judy Hoops, in MI.
