Hope you are doing well and get going again real soon.
The real debate is whether you should be called "Mallet" or "Garrett" now, since you will be fully articulated.

Thanks guys. This means a lot. Right now I'm in great pain. Pain killers ain't cutting it. Once the surgical scars are healed I'll get fitted for a new prosthesis and go fron there.

Having just started dialisis due to my failing kidneys (due to diabetes) I feel for Jeffrey and wish him the best recovery.

Darn!!! I just hope the old saying "you can't keep a good man down" is correct.
All the best Jeffery.
Cheers, the Bear..

Garry,
Thanks for letting those who don't hang out in the coffee shop, etc know. Jeff is indomitable -- I think that's the right word, anyway.
This won't be easy, but Jeff, hang in there. I potentially face some of the same issues long term and can only take inspiration from your spirited example of not letting things get you down. I hope I won't need that, but I take comfort in the example of your will and that of others to overcome life's obstacles that I can find the same power to meet the daily challenges life throws at us.
Remember to make those aisleways wide, folks, and those layout entrances accessible. Someday you, too, may need that.

I'm glad You posted the new's about Jeff. I was debating the same. Jeff is just too good a guy to be left un- noticed.
I played a part trying to support Him in the past, as did many other's from the Forums, here and the other sites.....But this new developement, I am just at a loss for words for any encouragement that I may be able to offer Him. Losing both legs is one hell of a tough pill to swallow for anyone.
I will continue to support and help...anyway that I can.
Jeff...try to hang in there buddy...I remain on Your side always.

As he posted in the Diner, Jeff's left leg has been removed. his right leg was already amputated last year.
Jeff has a remarkable ability to keep a positive attitude in spite of tough problems, but this may be very difficult.
i am sure he will appreciate your words of encouragement if you post them here or contact him directly.
