WhosCity?OurCity!!!: May 2012

First off some are asking why the blog is sitting idle and there are no videos.

Well it appears it is harder than I thought but I am trying my best to get someone who understands and has time to do it.

My next issue is rumors going around town about me.

There are some photos of my 4th of 5 operations since February 9^th to follow.

Many are spreading rumors and others say my operations have been a big lie as well as other things so untrue.

To those saying this has been a lie all I can say is you could not deal with the pain and you have no clue to the extent of the pain I have been forced to live with since 1982.

You get ran off a road and over a 70 foot cliff on a motorcycle and land on boulders and crush damn near every bone in your body and let’s see how you deal with life as I have had to.

So if you get grossed out easy do not look at the photos after this rebuttal to the rumor spreaders.

To forewarn you what you will see is 5 rods the size of Bar-B-Q skewers drilled into my leg bones sticking out my leg and 16 wires which are drilled from one side of my leg through the bone and out the other side of my leg.

Then the bone was cut out which was shattered in my motorcycle wreck and using new technology, the frame, rods and wires you see are attached to struts which have to be adjusted multiple times daily which re-aligns and reconnects the bones that were cut out allowing new bone to grow in the place of what was once my shattered Femur, Tibia, Ankle and Foot bones. It also supports the leg during the recovery.

Which at this time the only thing between the cut out bones is space needing time to regrow.

I did however suffer a severe heart attack when I threw two blood clots from the artery by-pass operation in my groin because they found I had also crushed an artery in my groin in my motorcycle accident which I had little or no blood pressure in my left leg from the groin down the left leg.

Once they repaired that and it got blood flow back and oxygen back the pain was so severe that they as well as I risked this surgery and did a 90 day blood thinner treatment and cut it down to 30 days of a high dose high strength blood thinner.

After the heart attack the doctors were able to surgically clear the clot in one of my upper ventricles and in a lower ventricle they were able to reattach (?) it to a 50% blockage state and are using drugs to dissolve it. If in a year it is not dissolved we will talk about other options.

I did do damage to another ventricle (heart muscle) which they are treating with medicine as well. But all in all every day my doctors see improvement and I feel it.

Now all things considered I am once again far ahead of where I should be.

As far as my heart my blood pressure is rising every day from an extreme low creating my high risk condition.

That is a very good thing meaning the drugs are working already.

As far as my groin by-pass surgery it is not giving me any further problems like the day I was released from the hospital and went to the council meeting.

Not the smartest thing I have ever done.

As far as my leg reconstruction surgery even before physical therapy I am already able to use a walker and crutches and put 50% of my body weight on it and walk short distances.

So I am not on my death bed. I did not get my leg cut off. I did have leg reconstruction surgery. I am not a zombie in a coma. I am not on life support.

I am still alive and just in some pain to say the least. But I am dealing with it as always.

So stop with the rumors and unless you see my obituary in the paper I am just fine. Just a little banged up again but with a better future and quality of life ahead of me again or I would not have gone through all I have had to endure over the past two months.

So if you do not like gross and realize true pain when you see it close this page now.
