Do NOT open if you don't like gross, blood, raw type injuries. This is not for sympathy....it is NOT! I share this because I'm hoping by giving it to the universe it will help me realize it is OVER, it is DONE, it is BEHIND ME!!! Some photos may appear the same as others but they were taken over time to show the progress or decline of my foot and leg over the course of 8 surgeries following my traumatic foot amputation (car accident), Lisfranc ampuation, skin grafts, latitimus dorsi muscle removal and failed muscle donation to my left foot hoping to make a new foot (no pictures of that because I was as close as dead to the world as possible during those 5-6 days in ICU before it all failed and had to be surgically removed ...what a waste of my body parts, my brain and my emotional well being!!!! The best news ever was the below knee amputation that saved my life!!!! The below knee amputation was an amazing relief of pain (don't get me wrong, we didn't cut off ALL of the pain but it was hands down WAY better than that foot and ankle area that was trying to kill me with pain 24/7 with NO BREAK IN PAIN, EVER!!) I went back to work 2 weeks after my below knee amputation. My foot was cut off 10/23/13, I had 7 surgeries and was hospitalized 32 days until I finally said "I've gotta goooooooooo!" I lived with the pain and uselessness of the left leg until we decided on a Wednesday in April that I would have the below knee amputation on the following Monday. It was the BEST decision I EVER MADE!!!
