Hi Petey,
Just learned about your condition from Ave. I was totally unaware all this time. I told you that you should've never worn that tutu.
Sending love to you as best I can, and I am someone who actually does pray for people.
Requested Ben-Hur for you in the Q today.

Mahalo AveD,
Your update is greatly appreciated.
It is good to know he still jests.
I will pray harder.
Warm hugs,
Maria

Just in from Pete to the fans!
> 11 March 2016
>
> This week has been one of pain thresholds, medications and the searching for a stable regimen that can carry me through rehab. No success, yet. We are still on the hospital floor. The wounds are healing. The good leg is coming back but ever so slowly. Feeling in it is at around 12%. It is not at a level that is functional, though. However, I do PT despite it to keep trying to get stronger.
>
> I have weights that I use to also develop upper body strength as this is where my new source is. I hope to fi nd my way to rehab soon and to those routines and techniques that will see me out of the hospital and home. No idea when that might happen, though. Not yet.
>
> Very best to you all.

So much pain to go through...  I hope it's temporary.
But it's good to hear a will to adapt to this new situation in Pete's words.

Pete update Sat., March 19:
'I am in Inpatient Rehabilitation. This is the last stop before getting released and being discharged. To be here, I needed to get off all IV pain medicine. Now, I was on such for a good while leading up to this, with my phantom pain interfering. The Pain Docs did come with a combo that could that get get me through BUT it was very constipating and that was NO fun. Even now I cringe thinking about it. It was a challenge but Pain Doc and Neurology came up with an idea for me called a Nerve Block.
In this procedure, sympathtic nerve endings would be targeted having to do with the amputated leg and with these chemicals, the hope was for the pain to be changed or removed. They WERE changed (muted) and this has allowed us to lower the dosage of the pain meds and that helps with that other issue etc.
So, here, we are at the inroads of rehab and let me tell you: it's tough. I am at it but it's tough. Simple things are so hard. Basic things, so tough. That is where I am but I am at it. I am not giving up. I will be in touch - P'

Pete, prayers are with you and your loved ones. You have an amazing spirit. I'm utterly heartbroken to learn of the pain you're going through.
Thank you, Cinder. For the post. |

I heard from Pete a week ago or so, and he seemed to be in good spirits. I keep pulling for him! |

He's been around semi-regularly these days.
I choose to interpret this as he's feeling better... at least occasionally. (...and I think that's actually what Pete himself said when people pounced on him in chat.)
Hope I got that right... it's not as if I'm his offical voice or something.
