Sept 14th is my Four Quarter Amputation. Anticipated length of surgery is 16 hours. I will have many qualified surgeons. Prayers for my surgeons and for me are welcomed. It is a rare and complex surgery.

Did the surgery in 10 hours. I am in Rehab now and am walking without a cane. In OT I filed my left nail yesterday. The plan is to return to independent living by Oct 5. My phantom arm gives comfort most of the time. Thanks for asking.

@damlady2, just a quick note to let you know that I've been thinking of you. I hope the forequarter (interscapulothoracic) amputation went well and that it wasn't any longer than 16 hours. It is such a complex surgery.
It's been only 10 days since your surgery, so I doubt that you are able to write. But perhaps you have voice to text abilities on your phone or computer. I'd love to hear from you. If you're not able, just know I'm wishing you a good recovery.
