Today is my day to head back in for my 7th surgery, just trying to set up a way so I don't have to sit in emergency for 7 plus hours. Feel pretty good today, but my foot is boiling hot this morning, and very red, where it usually is ice cold and pinkish, I am just hoping the infection has not moved down to my foot... Hoping it's still in the area it has been always. I'm am sure they will be taking out the metal. Most infections lay dormant on the foreign material you have in your body, so if they take the metal out, and they scrub my leg inside and put antibiotic pellets in my leg, it will kill the antibiotic, and there's nowhere for it to hide out. Now with the metal gone, scares me, cuz there is nothing stabilizing my leg, and I will feel like I am walking around on toothpicks.

RC - hoping all goes well for you!

Good morning, everyone!
@Redneck Charger , I'm very familiar with that fear of my leg snapping again when I was instructed to put "full weight" on it...."toothpicks" is a perfect description of that feeling. You're going through a really rough patch right now, Charger, and we can only imagine the frustration and disappointment you're experiencing. I hope this will be your last surgery, that skilled surgeons will finally defeat that infection and put you truly on the road to complete recovery. If your hardware is removed, you may be put into that heavy leg brace to replace your cast so that they can keep an eye on your healing. I keep you in my prayers, and may skilled hands remove anything that can hurt you....you've been through quite enough already! God bless you and your surgeons, my Friend.

As for me, I woke up in no pain and just wanted to stay there instead of moving and hurting again, but I had to, so back came the pain, followed by the melds, followed by my injection, breakfast by Hubby, followed by feeling floaty and fluffy right now... RNC, I'll post a photo of my leg later today in your thread; you're not alone, Sweetheart.

Well, eberything'g getting blurry now, so I'll leave off here. I think I'll wait until some of this fog clears before I shower. Our GS (PA day) will be here late morning so that DD and her DH can meet with another institution that wants her and is making her an offer that I'm afraid will be hard to turn down.

have a a great day everyone!!

@Lynn49 Just concentrate on getting better, thank you for your kind words and prayers... Well don't have to wait in emergency for 8 hours or more, they have me meeting a surgeon ( not mine) but the same team at 12:45 in the fracture plaster room, and we'll go from there. The nurse was here, and she did the same squeezing and milking motion, and no puss, just a red clear coloured substance, so that there is good news, but she still wants me to see a doctor... so there is a chance I may be home again... time will tell...

Good news, Charger!! I hope it resolves itself without additional surgery! Prayers at work here...

[avoncallingu]

May I ask for your prayers? DH has been admitted to hospital with a Septic blood infection. Family has been called. Next 24 hours will be crucial. Let's hope his weakened body can fight this awful bug- yet to be named.
Just home grabbing a few hours of sleep.

[Natalka]

Oh, avon, so very sorry to hear that - extra prayers for your husband today.
