I Witnessed a Wonderful Thing Today!

My husband stood up! He was wearing his prosthetic leg and he only could stand for 30 seconds before he started shaking and had to sit down- but he stood! He can’t walk (yet) but they are trying to get him to the point that once he has his leg on, he can be fairly self-sufficient.  He still needs help with his leg- but it’s a start and a far cry from where he was a few weeks ago. He likely won’t be able to walk for months, but if he can at least stand on his leg and get into the truck- then we are ahead of the game! That’s the goal, to stop all the expensive transport to doctor’s offices and get him to the point where he was before this infection took hold. I was so proud of him- especially considering how badly I know he is hurting. He’s also off the pain pills after being on them for years now. One of his good friends became addicted to pain pills and did some really dumb stunts to hurt himself to get more. I think Mike saw then the danger of hydrocodone in the body.

  1. A huge congratulations! It takes a LOT of courage just to be willing to face such pain, especially without those strong pain killers. Truly very impressive! I salute you both!!
