Lets Go Shopping...


This is the only way to roll.

Update:
1) Thanks to the Physical Therapist I'm working out more now then I did when I had two legs.
2) The Staples have been removed and the wound is healing well.
3) I should be able to take the first real shower, without covering the limb in a bag, this weekend.

One thing I miss doing:
1) using the left foot to take the shoe of the right foot.

My wife said that we should go for a pedicure,
She knows a place that I will get half off.

It's the Big 31...


I have a really funny joke about not having a leg on your birthday, but I can't remember it.

Thanks to All...

This post is for you...

I wanted to thank everyone for being so generous, understanding, and caring. From my Family, to Friends, to my extended Efilm Family.

I would like to thank everyone who has responded to this blog, or in emails. To those who have donated (and she who set up the account), this really is more then I ever expected.

I didn't want to use names, because I don't know who is ok with having their name out there. But please know that I owe each of you a huge thanks and you will all forever be in my thoughts and heart.

This silly little blog will never really let you know how much all this has meant to me. This has been a crazy and strange experience but with the help and strength from everyone it has made it much easier.

My next appointment with the doctor on Jan 15 (tomorrow) we should remove the staples.

Thanks again to everyone. And an extra big thanks to my wife. Without her, I would be nothing.

I've returned...

In on a Monday and Out on the Friday.

And yes Britney and I hung out.

Update on mobility...
Right now I move around with Crutches and a Wheelchair, my left limb is kind of swollen so I can't really put any pressure on it. I go to see the doctor in a couple of weeks, for now its at home Physical Therapy and Nursing (to change the dressing). The goal now is to keep the limb strong and stretched out.

Here are some pictures...

P.S. the Phantom Limb Pain and Sensation are real and they are the weirdest thing ever.
