Not so good news.
I believe I have not done the "Why me?" thing since the whole leg saga began. However, I might be slipping into it. I found out yesterday that my bone has grown into a solid mass but that mass is not large and only 1/3 of what needs to be filled in. I go back in six weeks and if there is little to no change we need to look at other options. Needless to say I am frustrated as all hell! So frustrated that there are no tears left to shed. Part of me doesn't want to wait six weeks to find out this has not worked--let's decide now what needs to be done. If things haven't improved a lot in six weeks Dr. T want to send me down to see another trauma specialist. A large part of me is asking, "Why wait?" Another part of me is terrified about what that doctor might say; i.e. "the leg is not salvageable any more" All of this information just makes me want to do nothing--not get out of bed, not get dressed--just sit at my computer and play solitaire. Questions like, What does it matter what happens now? I have already lost two years of my life--isn't it enough already? Just get it done and over with and let me learn how to get along again. Can you can paint the toe nails on a prosthetic leg/foot?

What a tough story! I wish you the best of luck. Thanks for your writing.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to tell you that yes, you can paint prosthetic toenails. I do it all the time. You can also get feet with a split between the toes for sandals. I don't wear high heels, but you can get feet for that too if you want and can afford it.
