LOL. She knows it. Thankfully she only makes it about once a year. On New Year's Day we have an open house for friends and family. Mom makes a couple appetizer type things, 4 soups - one of which is a giant pot of chili - and then desserts.
I came into this late....and I admit to being nosy....and I'll happily delete if you want me to but what happened that you have a prosthetic leg?
I wish your Mom was my neighbor....
lol
It's okay to ask. My right foot issue started with me stepping on a nail in 07. It got infected and I went in the hospital. It healed up and I was back off to work and everything was normal though had scar tissue in the foot from the way it had to heal up the cavity from the infection and surgery.
Then in December of 11, my foot started really hurting and I was having trouble walking on it without it wanting to roll over to the outside. I cut my day short, cleared my service calls, and told the boss I was going to see the doctor, got home and took off my work boots and my sock was all bloody. Mom took me to the podiatrist and he diagnosed it as Charcot syndrome and the infection was back, and off to the hospital again. The hope was to heal than I would wear a permanent brace on that foot to walk. I was out for six months and was trying to get back to work wearing a rocker boot and waiting for the brace boot to be ready when I started getting sick. the infection just would not go away and i was suffering sepsis. So off to Shands hospital, where they told be they had to take the foot, which is the mental equivalent of someone hitting you in the head with a cement block.
I am oh so glad I paid for long term disability insurance. I had to leave employment with ADT, but they were good to me and were sad to see me go. My boss told my mom that it was sad they were loosing the benefit of all my knowledge. I was the local office's access control guru.
I was with them for 12 years. I was sad to go too, I had built enough time to have a month of vacation every year.
Did I overload you BB? hehehe
