"Old Fart" amputee veteran in need of help

Up date with no picture. He had his amputation today and had some blood pressure issues and some breathing issues so they have him in ICU and hope to have him back in his room tomorrow afternoon. They took it at the knee after discussing taking it mid shin, they needed to be sure they got ALL the infection as he has been battling this issue for 12 years since he had his first foot sore get infected and they started rommoving toes. We just pray that after this one he can regain some strength and get back to harassing game animals as well as aquatic wildlife. We weren't allowed to see him today as they have him isolated to be sure no germs get near his new incisions. We hope to see him tomorrow and get some pictures. 

I wish the best for the Old Fart!

We got to see him today and he’s in good spirits. They left a little bit below the knee and we’re hoping it will be easier for him to get used to a prosthetic leg. They moved him out of ICU and back to his regular room. He’s back to his grumbly old self. Now if he could just keep liquids and food down. Plus, he was measured today for his prosthetic leg that will be here tomorrow. Hoping to see him “running” up and down the halls in a week.
