Hey all! Been a while (again LOL)

I'm sure none of you knew what has been happening with me, but some of you know about the surgeries and stuff with my left foot.....

Just in case you hadn't found out about this yet, here's a picture of me.....

6 weeks ago this Monday I had my left leg amputated below the knee! WHY? Because the last surgeon (ankle fusion last year) messed it all up by not monitoring an infection that ended up spreading.

I feel great, and I am eager to be up and walking again on that prosthetic! This Monday I am going into Rehab for 2 weeks. Until then, I'm gonna play with some mapping and see if I can improve my skills.

I missed you guys :)

Oh god, that must really suck, to say the least. I feel sorry for you. D:

Welcome back though.

Did you sue the shit out of the surgeon?

At least your feeling good.

Sue the shit out of that surgeon! ^^ Seriously. That's incompetence not catching an infection like that, in such an obvious place. Good to see you're doing well, considering. =]
m0p m0pIllogical.

Well im glad to see that you're optimistic about all this.
Welcome back.

I've had a doctor's malpractice affect me too, just not to this extent.

If only every doctor was like Satchmo =[ We'd all be injuring ourselves to go to his office with our boxes and have a LAN, and play HLDM and such.

Osteomyelitis was the infection, nasty staph in the bone... hardf to get rid of.

So, off to the Source forum to ask some stupid questions ROFL

Oh shit, I didn't know it was that bad. I remember you mentioning some foot problems and some surgeons screwing up. Glad to see how well you seem to be taking it, though :)
Welcome back!... for, like, the fourth time!
And of course I have to ask what everyone else is asking: Are you suring the shit out of the surgeon?
Posted 17 years ago2007-04-29 03:26:19 UTC Post #220378
I have spoken to a few lawyers who have turned down the case. However that was BEFORE I had to have the foot chopped off. My issue now is the amount of time it has been since the infection first set in. A lawyer may have issues with why I waited.

There seems to be a slow returning of oldies, yet at the same time everybody seems to be getting dumber and dumber. Im torn up inside as to the future of this place.
