Loosing a Leg

I have a lifelong friend who is going to have surgery tomorrow morning at 6 AM I sure do dread this for him and his family. His wife has cancer and he has been taking care of her, his mother is not well and he takes care of her as well. He is sure that they get to the Doctors for their appointments. This guy has such a positive attitude that he acts like it doesn’t bother him that he is going to lose a leg but I know he is scared and hurting inside and wont show it because he has always been strong for his family. It may take him a little while to be able to talk to me about it but he knows that I know him too good to not encourage him to get it off his chest. He may even need counseling after this ordeal but I know he will refuse it.

He had broke his leg abut 6 weeks ago and now they are going to take it off because of bacteria that had set up in the leg.The doctors don’t know the bacteria origin because they can’t get it to live outside the body. If anybody has ever heard of anything like this please let me know.
