Hey, Box! Heard you were home.  Hope you're starting to get better.  Let us hear from you soon (after you catch a whole mess of fish).

My surgery on Monday was a success if you can call losing another toe a party. I also had stints put in my right leg to open up the arteries and increase the blood flow to the foot last Thursday and the first toe removed on the 26th of Feb. The Doctors said that all looks promising but still want me to try the Hyperbolic chamber again. Because that will really help the healing process. As you all know I tried the coffin style chamber and freaked out to the point that I will not go back in that style chamber. They also have an 8 man chamber at a differant hospital which I was asked to try today. My experience turned sour towards the end of the treatment. I started to hyper ventilate and got very anxious with a very strong urge to get out of there, which of course you couldn't. I spoke with the Doctor along with a few friends and they no doubt are telling me I gotta suck it up and go back in or the chance of losing the foot increases. It is 8pm Tuesday nite and I have additional sedation pills in hand prescribed by the Doc for tomorrow, and another appointment for 8am tommorrow morning to go back in. I haven't quite made my mind up to try again and probably won't till morning But, I can't let this beat me even though it has come close lately. Stay tuned...Mark

PS there is a possibility that I will be admitted for 2 weeks to reduce all the travel back and forth, between dialysis and chamber treatments. Will know that today

My Dearest Box,
Need your help!!! But first, hope you are going pretty good with the recent foot problem. You see, I think Nanay is getting the same problem with her feet. Please let me know, what kind of doctor treated you, how did they came to know about the vein blockage? Your information will be of tremendous help to us. Hope you're up and geared for fishing. Your always in my prayers.
love,
cris
Chris they did what they call angiplasty where they insert dye then watch it travel through your leg veins and show up any narrow arteries. Then insert stints to open them back up. You are a wake during it but I did stay overnite and went home the next day...Box

Hi Boxman, glad you are home. Have you decided about the hyperbolic chamber? Just wanted you to know I'm thinking of you. Good Luck and take care.  :cuddle;

Hey Boxman, Good to hear from you.  You certainly have a lot to deal with right now.  The hyperbolic chamber would be hard to deal with--take anything they can give you to help with the anxiety.  I'll be thinking of you :cuddle;

I get pretty claustrophobic so I think I can imagine i would be anxious about the chamber. Take all the drugs they offer!!  :lol;
Glad to hear from you Boxman, I missed you on trivia! Hope things improve soon.  :cuddle;

I know that closed in feeling...I freaked in an MRI machine once. I now have a lovely bottle of Valium to help me through future scans.

Hang tough Boxman and know that we are all here pulling for you.

Box, thanks so much for the information. I really admire your courage and zest. You are really someone special with or without toes.  :cuddle; You bet, you are always in my prayers. Is your doctor foot a vascular surgeon or somehing else?

Box, I'm sorry I missed the last couple of days of this...I spaced, I guess.

Anyway, I hope it went well today and that your drugs helped with the chamber, if you decided to do it. Take care and keep updating us!  :cuddle;
