God bless & a speedy recovery. |

Was it an excess 10 lbs or was it something you need?
Either way good luck and here's to a speedy recovery.

First 24 hours was pretty awful, the pain regimen I'm on now seems to be working pretty well. It's only been a few hours but the pain is down to about a 3, which is the lowest it's been since I woke up from the operation.
Once I get my prosthetic I'm planning making some shells for it. Definitely going to have a peg leg, I'm eyeing some chunks of desert ironwood for that. Gotta have one with a built in robocop style holster too. |

Damn. Hope you have an easy, speedy and full recovery.
My only experience with that surgery was a friend who went into it a physical wreck from years of untreated diabetes. It didn't go well for him.

If you've been dealing with that for 8 years, this will be a great thing. Prosthesis technology has come a long way and you will be much more functional once you get there.

What triggered the osteonecrosis? Transtibial is a great spot, prosthetics are pretty trick nowadays. |

@JoshAston
My maternal grandfather lost a leg above the knee when he fell from freight train at age 12. He went on to become a pioneer of medical radiography, an Army doc during WWII, and the reason I’m here. What hospital are you in? |

Now try some CBD oil. That stuff cures everything. Surely it can grow a foot back. Get yourself an AR-15 pistol leg as well. Hope you get well soon.

My buddy had his left done a couple months ago. He stepped in a hole carrying mail and fucked up his Achilles. 8 years, multiple surgeries including replacing the tendon completely, years in a cast or boot, his doc finally agreed to cut it off. He had been asking for a couple years. Luckily workers comp paid for it all so far.
Btw, he calls his stump Carl. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Retired two years ago Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Wow OP-so sorry you had to go through this. Did you retire from the USAF or are you still in? Congratulations on the retirement. I remember when you were down the road at MHAFB. Best wishes to you on a speedy recovery. That’s one hell of a thing to go through, but at least you’re still young and better able to recover than some. ETA: Somewhat ironically, I’m sitting in a hospital room with the wife now. She just came out of a exploratory heart procedure and is snoozing away. I loathe hospitals. Time tends to drag on unless you’re in and out from the sedation or anesthesia. You’re a good fellow Josh. Not the end of the world of course, but I hate seeing things like this happen to good people. |
