Boxman -- You're in our thoughts and prayers. Marvin and I will think about you tomorrow and wait to hear that everything's okay. You're a really unique guy, and there are lots of people here who love you and are pulling for you.

Thanks petey, It sure helps when you know people are routing for you. Marvin, I am sure is very proud of you for how you handle yourself and I am thankful for you and all the other well wishers on this site. Little things mean a lot. Thanks again...Boxman |

Talking with Boxman I guess they will have to remove the small toe also but the procedure he is in the hospital for now was a success. They opened up the vein that feeds the three lower veins and were able to open 2 of the 3 veins in the lower leg which made an immediate improvement in blood flow to his foot. So bottom line is he may lose another toe but he saves the foot.

I'm so sorry about your toe Boxman, glad the vein procedure will save you foot. Take care and I'll be thinking of you.

I just found a computer here in the hospital it is 11:30 at nite on Thursday and I just got unstrapped from my bed after being on my back for 15-1/2 hours having surgery and waiting for the incision site into the artery to clot properly. I was on the surgery table at 7:30 am after arriving at 5:30am Jeffery gave me a ride. The procedure lasted 1-1/2 hours. They inserted a cath in my left groin artery and attempted to open up the one artery that runs from your groin to your knee in the right leg. They found that that vein was 99% blocked and inserted a stint to successfully open it back up. They did the same to one of the lower (3) arteries that run from the knee to the foot. The other lower artery was 100% blocked and they could not push thru with a stint. That one will be revisited later. The third one they got partially open so know I have adequate blood flow to my foot. It will not save the fourth toe ( which will be removed Monday) But, the doctors feel it will save the other 3 toes along with the foot. Thank God. The other leg shows blockage also and we will have surgery on that down the road. Thats it I will be at Columbia -Ozaukee Monday till probably wed or thurs next week. Man I just love these hospital stays...Mark
Hi all I am home it is 4:30pm Friday. I sent the above e-mail out last nite to family. It was really nice to meet Kitkatz and see Sluff again. We had a nice visit even though I had to stay flat in bed. So prancing around in the jammies was out of the question. I will be back at the hospital Monday till Wed or Thursday for the 4th toe removal. My life is just full of excitement....Boxman

Oh, Boxman! It was so good to read your post. I'm sorry for the loss of another toe, but, hey, it's good news about the remaining toes and foot. It's also good that you get a little break over the week-end. Go back and read the posts here, Box; there are lots of people who were thinking about, worrying about, and praying for you. Certainly that shows you how much you are loved. Next week, I think we'll all be doing the same for you. Okay, so you didn't parade around in the silk jammies...I'll forgive you this time (though I was mighty disappointed). But....Rose and I do expect a rain check!  Take care of yourself. Rest over the week-end. You're a real trooper! Hang in there! |

Good to hear from you Boxman! Good to hear they are able to save some of your flangies (sp? ) and it sounds like you are in good spirits and back home. Have a restful weekend, and be well. |

Oh man, Boxman!! What a lot of opening to do. I'm glad they're able to save the foot by doing all that though. And, at least you get a (small) break by not having the toe taken til Monday. Iti's tiring being in the hospital, isn't it? Between the nurse visiits and the procedures and the after effects. NOT fuN!!! But hey...you gotta get your jollies somehow, I suppose!!! I'll be thinking of you Monday. |
