Lisa has been ill for some time now, but it finally come to an head this last few weeks, she has had blockages in her veins in her legs which in turn sent her toes gangrenous, then she got an infection in them, so the docs, they gave her 3 options...
1: leave it and she would die
2: they could try a vein bypass which may not work, or less than a 50% chance
3: amputate the leg just below the knee
So we talked about it at some length, she decided to have #3 they operated yesterday morning removed the part half way between the knee and foot.
she was under to knife for about 4 hrs, and all went very well it seems, she came back to the ward in a very happy mood, considering what she had been through, still in pain but still smiling and joking today.
I went out today and got her an electric scooter, she has only seen picture of it, but is pleased with it.
So we dont know how long she will be in for, but I think it will be a few weeks.
I'll let you know more when I do.
