Very sorry about the pain and misery you have been in for so long. Best wishes for your recovery/healing.
Jesus said "I am The Way"
He turns our worries into calm
I'm offering this heartfelt prayer to Him

Jim: Thank you for all you’ve done for America. You’ve given a voice to so many who want to save our country from the destructive forces of liberalism. God bless you. May He heal you and give you many more years to fight the good fight.
Now that! That right there! That deserves repeating! {;^)
You certainly have a solid hold on the Anti-MAGA's Public Enemy #2 slot.
Prayers for you Jim.
I have started praying for you in earnest again daily my dear friend Jim.
I pray that God will give you that peace that passes all understanding and that Jesus will continue healing you in a mighty way.
He is the Great Physician and the healer if our bodies and the Saviour of our souls.
Thank you Chris and John (and Amy) for watching over your precious father with such loving care.
We pray to our Father God in Jesus Name.
Amen
Matthew 11: “28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
Praying through the thread for you, Jim. Much love!
Prayers going up for you, Jim....sending you our love.
Prayers for you!
Yea for ice cream! A healing food.
If your ears are ringing JimRob— it is just our prayers for you. XO
JR; so glad you are getting better and stronger. The memory foam might be a useful tool. Smoothing Vitamin E oil on the bed soar scars and possible new ones can help healing and reduction of scar tissue. Vitamin C taken 3 or 4 times a day can also help. The body uses Vitamins C and E to form new tissue.
I suspect the dream about the dog eating feet and legs is your unconscious coming to grips with your own loss of legs, It takes a long time to recover mentally frum such a severe loss. But you have the mental strength needed.
I gave some further thought to my comment #356. You are obviously a strong brave man, but perhaps you need to grieve for your lost legs, as for the death of a loved one.
I was in a therapy training group where we met weekly and did therapy paired with another member for several hours. One psychologist commented he was feeling quite a lot better, but he still felt he had a little gloom cloud (I can’t remember the cartoon character who had this) that was above him and followed him around all the time. We paired up that evening and I suggested he needed to have a funeral and say goodby to his little gloom cloud. He agreed so we found a dark jacket and laid it under a blanket. He then told the gloom cloud how it had comforted him during the worst parts of his childhood, but did not need it any more. He then said Goodby to it over and over, burst into tears and cried for a long, long time, almost 2 hours. The next week he came in and said the cloud was gone and he had bought the piano he had wanted to get for years.
Perhaps you and a friend, family member, or therapist could do something similar. Cover something sympolizing your lost legs with a blanket and have a funeral. Tell your legs how much they had meant to you, and how much you miss them, how much the loss hurt, but it is time to say goodby. Allow yourself to grieve as much and as long as you need. It might also be necessary to repeat this process a few times until you feel freer and no longer have this nightmare. My very best wishes for continued healing.
God Bless Jim. Prayers for a quick healing and speedy recovery.
