Tony's (Norm & Diane's) Accident Update

I finally had a chance to breathe this morning and get some emails out so I thought I would post a blog.

For those that don't know Tony had a serious injury at work involving a turkey auger - no details needed for that probably. His right foot was severly damaged.

After a week of fighting serious infection that was spreading we decided with the doctors to have a BTK (below the knee) right leg amputation. This surgery was done on 8-8.

He is planning on coming home Monday and is doing extremely well - walking about 30 steps already then getting a little winded - that is what happens when in bed for 10 days.

Thanks for all the emails and thanks to Fran for the hospital visit.

He is tough, strong-willed and is already asking when he can return to work.

We will keep you updated.
