So i just found out that I am going to be having surgery on this upcoming Monday the 30th. I really hope it is a morning surgery because I hate being told I can’t have breakfast or lunch… that is cruel and unusual punishment. So I suppose you may wonder why I am having surgery and what is happening. Well I have ‘interesting’ feet that have been getting fixed over the last few years. Well I ended up with a sore and infection in one of my toes on my right foot so the best course of action is to amputate the toes. Continue Reading…

The latest and greatest, a humorous look at amputation
A perspective on valentines day
It is interesting to look at how people look at Valentines Day. You have the couples who celebrate their love for each other. The single men and women who are troubled because they do not have someone to celebrate with. Then you have everyone else who tries to make the the day work for everyone whether it is looking at the true meaning of the day or just celebrating it with friends by sharing card and words of encouragement. I admire and love Valentines day but it is not because it is a holiday of love but because of the love I experienced on the 14th of February three years ago. Continue Reading…
Two steps towards forever
I am amazed to look back at where I have come in the last few years. I seem to be always coming to this point where I am always looking back at my life with a great sense of amazement. I suppose the reason I keep having these moments of refection comes from my amazement that I am actually doing good. I could have lost my foot and my health could have declined. It is only by God’s grace that I am here today. Continue Reading…
In the deep lost of my soul I have a God-shaped hole
It is amazing to see how much this latest surgery has actually hurt me. My body is healing and doing great. Yet my soul and hope has shattered by the relentless pounding and it hurts. I have been turning to everything but God for comfort. I am angry at God in some respects. So with that mindset you can understand how this last week has been long. I have made some really stupid choices to try to fulfill that aching hole in my life. As Audio Adrenaline put it I have a God-Shaped hole in my life. Continue Reading…
Clawing my way back as I fall again
Well the deep fear and dread of knowing that I have to have surgery again have passed For now at least. I know that God is working this for His glory and I am thankful that he is allowing me on this journey of a lifetime. Please keep me in your prayers (as I know you have) while I try to continue on with my healthy eating. It is hard because I am not able to get the food myself any more. I m eager to see what God has in store for me during the next few months.
P.S. The Royal Guardsmen are awesome!
Life can never be simple
Guess what…… I have 2 broken bones in my foot and will be having surgery next week. There are no words that I can use to express how I feel. All I can say is that this was not my first choice of things to do next week. On a side note I don’t have a lot of pain from the broken bones. A normal person would have gone to the ER with pain from a break like this. What a time, hey?
Early morning update on music, healing, and uncertainty
I am wide awake at 2-ish in the am and I am relaxing to some random Billboard top 100 hits from the 80s-today on my iPod. Listening to music is a great way to clear my thoughts. So on that note here is how my foot is doing…….
I saw the doctor yesterday and I found out what will be happening over the next few months. First off let me say that the Bee Gees are some interesting listening at 2:30 am….. So the doctor gave me two options / scenarios which are as follows. 1) My foot may heal as is with out any extra surgery. This is unlikely by human standards since I have already given the foot 6 months to heal. BUT I know that God is able to do it and I am waiting on Him. 2) I will have surgery and the doctor will put screws and/or a rod into the ankle to help stabilize it. Continue Reading…
Why does pain have to hurt so much
I have finally gotten to the point where I can do a little walking on the foot and ankle that were fused together. There was a 30 percent chance that the fusion would be a total failure even 6 months after the surgery. So with that in mind, you can understand that I am a little worried about my foot. If there is a failure it could mean amputation down the road. My calf is wasting away due to my ankle never moving again and it hurts. To top it off my ankle is swollen and feels like there is a drill bit drilling through it… The only thought that brings me joy is knowing Christ endured more pain than I will ever know.

A fusion of the body
Well, life is interesting. I am recovering from my surgery. It is hard to have to keep off my feet. I have had my left foot and ankle fused together. Time will tell if things work out. My God is all that is keeping me together, many of the doctors and nurses wonder how I keep such a positive attitude. I know it is all due to God. Well life goes on. And to God be the Glory. Oh yeah… there is my foot!
