Great Day, Good Leg
My father was discharged from the hospital yesterday. It was a great day, because he came home with both his legs intact. Praise be to God. My father had the surgery on his heels Friday of last week. It took us a few days to decide which doctor to choose. I felt that we needed a second opinion and consult other doctors because the first Orthopedic surgeon had a negative attitude -- I mean, I know doctors are supposed to explain to us the worst situation that could happen -- but this one just scared my father and I. He was just too unfeeling about our situation. So after a tiring process of going from one doctor to the other, and with lots of prayers, I decided to go with the Orthopedic surgeon who did my mother's hip surgery 3 years ago, and who also is a good friend of my cousin. This doctor is not only reputable, but he is also calm and encouraging. The best thing he said was that he will try his best to avoid amputation. It's not a promise, but at least I know he'll try....
