About 8 Months ago my wife injured her foot, she was seeing the wound center twice a week, but the foot got infected and the infection reached the heal bone. Eventually the infection became so bad that now they have to remove her foot.
My wife, Sharee, is a paraplegic from a car accident we were in. Back in 1987 we were in a car accident where we went off a 35 foot embankment. Well, like diabetics, paraplegics have bad circulation in their feet. Which is not good for injuries, because we need good blood circulation to heal. Well, today they will be removing her foot.
Please I request prayers for her, the surgeon, the technicians, the nurses, and for me.
A prayer request I sure never wanted to see, OneVike, but you know that Sharee and you will be in many prayers from me.
Your wife has osteomyelitis, and if they can’t get the bone infection under control with antibiotics and tetracyclines, then they have to amputate.
Same thing with me: my left foot’s big toe (bone) became infected after a podiatrist visit, and it had to be removed before it spread into the foot. The amputation didn’t hurt; it was the removal of 13 stitches that hurt like hell.
That said, I prayed for her and you.
FYI
You’re both in my prayers... may God protect and comfort you and your much loved wife.
Prayers that all goes well
Prayers up!
Prayers for you and your wife.
...
Prayers for you, your wife, and all who will be caring for her.
"...like diabetics, paraplegics have bad circulation in their feet..."
I am a type 2 diabetic and have neuropathy in my feet.
But I still have both my feet. Tell your wife that
some diabetic loon on FR is praying for her.
Good luck to you both.
PRAYERS UP!
