Just got an update on Andy...they had to remove his leg that was so badly damaged. I'm at the library and Steve is waiting so I can't post the whole email yet...I will when I get time. He's handling it well...concerned about what girls are gonna think apparently...but other than that. Medically, they were able to do a very good amputation...he had plenty of good viable tissue to work with.

Ok...just wanted to let you know. Will post more later.

300wm is in the process of sending him a knife.

Sorry he lost the leg. Hoping and praying for a new one that will work for him. New prosthetics are pretty amazing.

Thanks for the update, 2J... [sigh] it's a rough time for sure.

The knives (a HH and a ER) are supposed to be done Monday. They now seem so small and petty.

Maybe a good cover letter will help. I'm counting on you for that, 2J.

Oh, GOd Blass Andy. Did they have to remove the entire leg, or were they able to salvage his knee so that he doesn't have to worry about an artificial joint?

Oh dear...sorry he had to lose the leg! Glad to hear he's doing well otherwise, though. He's in my prayers!
