Journal Entry for December 31, 2007 Mood
Monday, December 31, 2007
well here it is the last few hours of '07  and I for one am glad to see it go.It's been a very pain ful one for me.On 12/15/07  I had what  they called a de-bridge ment op and then attached a vac pump to that. Well I have never had so much pain in my life and last friday I had that taken off as my knee has become contracted to the point where it will be useless to continue  with the vac healing.I can tell you this I may have to have an above  the knee operation but that pain that I endured with that vac pump is nothing but a torture mill. If any one has ever had that  then you know  what I mean. I have a drs appt next thursday to discuss future treatment .I am in worse shape now than I was before I ever had an amputation. sure hope it gets better soon  and I'm still getting older every day ...(sighs)
