Having my leg amputated.

Going in for the surgery later today. My leg got torn open on the quadricep muscle about nine months ago now when I was involved in a minor car crash. Part of the car's chassis had twisted into a sharp point and stabbed into my leg deeply. After a night in hospital for observation I was discharged and nothing more was thought of it. My leg appeared to heal and I didn't notice anything until a month or so ago when the area that is now scarred went a funny colour beneath the skin. There was a greenish tinge to it.

I went to the doctor and he told me not to worry about it. The situation got worse and I went to a specialist private doctor to see what was wrong. The doctor thought that I may have caught an infection in the hospital ward after the crash and advised me to have it tested immediately. I followed the doctor's instructions and sure enough, I had been infected with MRSA that had festered into a lesser form of gangrene, attacking the muscle tissue around my leg bone.

So today I lose my left leg (hence the reason I drive an automatic car - only need one leg for two pedals). Wish me luck <3
