And the good news is, that the cardiovascular surgeon checked Johns legs today. The pulse on the right leg is weaker than on the left, they are going to take him into the hospital, in 2 or 3 weeks and put some dye into his body to find out exactly where the arteries are narrowing.
The surgeon reckons that it's not too bad and they are going to try and widen the arteries, at the same time as they take the x-rays.
Surgeon says that with a tiny bit of luck, that will work and all will be well, after it. Of course we are still trying to quit smoking, (we've cut it down a lot) and will have to be careful about diet too.
I think the first doctor who saw John, may have panicked a bit, hence the talk of amputation etc., but that's ok., I would rather have over concern that way as any other, since that's what made me search for a hospital with a shorter waiting list in the first place.
I'm still certain N-N prayers and good thoughts helped to bring this good news to us. I thank you all again and again.
This might sound daft, I knew I was worried, but didnt realise just how worried, until the doc., gave us the good news!
Thank you all!
