I have a childhood friend whom broke his leg a few weeks ago, well it actually splintered the way it broke, which was parallel. After the surgery he was doing pretty good and then he started to have problems with it. At first they (The Doctors) said that a bacteria had set up on the bone and they would have to do surgery and scrape the bone to remove the bacteria. Now they are saying that they need to amputate, when i found this out this morning I was in shock. I know my friend is a strong willed person and trying to be positive on his condition, but I know deep down he is really hurting inside, and wondering how in the hell do you break a leg and get it fixed supposedly and wind up losing that leg. I guess all I can do is give him support and a ear to let him vent when the time comes.
