Our chat with the surgeon!

This afternoon I took Mom to see a surgeon about her foot.  They said that the wound is not healing and as long as the bone comes down under her foot, it most likely will NOT heal.  The surgeon said that the last option we have before amputation is to do surgery and shave off the excess bone that sticks down under her foot.  Then hopefully they can close up the wound enough for it to heal on it's own.  He is scheduling the surgery for next week and it will be an outpatient procedure, so she will just go back to the rehab center after the surgery is complete.  Hopefully!  We also received word that she will probably be at the rehab place until Jan. 5th instead of being released on the 28th.  They are supposed to confirm this tomorrow.
