Hey, as i had quiet a few beautiful messages and still have lovely souls checking up, I thought id just pop a little update on here.
Things are moving fast, which i suppose is good for the NHS but not so much for my nerves & anxiety.
I have my appointment through to meet my prosthetics team & start to look at the different types of legs....seems very strange saying that. But I am intrigued to see & hear what maybe available to me.
On the 15th I have an appointment to see the specialist at Sheffield for a 2nd opinion on my left leg, as there is no active dead tissue, id like to see if they think there is anything I could actually try. As iv read about a certain procedure involving mini stents but its extremely tricky & Sheffield also have some stem cell trials. I feel at this point now I have nothing to lose (apart from both legs 😅) and its at least worth a try/ask?
Then on the 25th, the OT & surveyor are coming back out, to see what adjustments can be made at home for after surgery.
Also on the 25th I will be meeting my amputee/rehabilitation nurse too.
Its definitely all becoming more real, but i think iv dropped into a little bit of Denial too & holding out hope that Sheffield will say they can actually save not just my left leg but my right too....I know thats very wishful thinking & im not sure if im setting myself up for a fall...I see it as remaining positive 🙃
Thanks again for all the truly lovely messages and support, it really helps & means alot. 😚
