I'm home from the doctor. He is placing me on restrictions at work again. I'm only allowed to do sit down work. As for options, I'm basically looking at below the knee amputation in a few months. I have to have an MRI done to see if the doctor can tell anything else about what is going on, but he said I'm not really a candidate for fusion. Part of it is because I can't give up my smokes, and part of it is that the pain will still be there. I' not looking forward to having my left leg amputated, but I don't think I'm gonna have much of a choice. Maybe I'll give everyone the full story about what brought it all on when I have more time. Right now though I have to get ready for work.

amputation, are you serious man? what are you gonna do? do you have any other options at all? i'd like to hear the whole story sometime!
