Jay had surgery on the arteries in his right leg and they kept him overnight. The next day his foot was still just a sore as it had been before the surgery and now he was weak and lacked bladder control. His foot began to swell and became red. He was so weak we thought he was going to pass out several times. Two days later we returned to Erlanger's ER. They started giving him antibiotics for the infection in his feet. He was there in the ER for 11 hours. He was cold and kept asking for a blanket which never came. They lost his shoes for while. He was just miserable. They finally got him a room after 11 hours of misery.
The next day when a physical therapist came in to do a routine check, Jay could hardly lift his LEFT leg off the bed, but could lift his RIGHT leg (with the sore foot) just fine. They decided to send him to Life Care rehab for a week or two. They had tried him just walking a bit while in the hospital, but his shoes filled with fluids.
They transported Jay to Life Care Rehab on Wednesday, September 3, 2014. Now I am going to start showing you some of the pictures of his foot. If you don't wish to see them, then look away. Here is what his foot looked like when he entered the Life Care Rehab center:
