    About Me

    53 years old an above the knee amputee.This all started as a little nick on my third toe on my right foot.The first dot head doctor looked at my foot for all of 20 seconds and said 250 miligrams of antibiotcis this did not help.On return another doctor probed it and said I needed to go to a wound doctor.I did.He wanted blood flow results I had 75% in my left leg and 65% in my right leg.The doctor tryed to install stents but blood vessle was blocked.They installed a by-pass it worked for a while but it also clogged when they cleaned it out all the clogged stuff fell into my leg where they first removed my foot infection spread and they had to remove leg to above knee.This all happened just after Thanksgiving and ended in March
