Re: [Chrysler300] Re: Gary Goers - Just a Thought

I too feel badly about Gary's problem. His name is lifted in prayer at our church in San Jose frequently.  
I hope he's quit smoking as that apparently has a lot to do with bone healing. 

Several years ago, while living in rural Illinois, I had a friend who broke his ankle.
They put hardware in his ankle to get it back together. He then developed a staph infection, later said to have been caused by the stainless steel screws into the bone.
 He also had multiple surgeries, ultimately ending up
with removal of all hardware, followed a few months later by removal of his foot. In the end, which came a few years later, it did not end well for him.
 I think infections in the foot like this are not 
simple problems. I agree he ought to be at someplace like Mayo.

Just to clarify my earlier post, my thoughts were that a temporary helper would help lighten Gary's load, and allow him to get off his feet and get some rest, which is crucial to recovery.

HI Group:

Aside from the fact that Gary may be a critical source, I am more concerned with his well being than I am getting parts right now. I am sure that Ron didn't intend that post to sound the way it did, and I agree that it would be great to have someone help them out, but I am more concerned with the care Gary has been getting (or perhaps not getting).

I will preface this by acknowledging that this may be none of my business BUT, having had Gary subjected to numerous surgeries with the same problems coming back time and time again, it has occurred to me that, perhaps, its time for him to get out of Kalispell and get to a place with a major medical facility, maybe one with a teaching hospital. I cannot believe that it is usual for something like this to repeat itself over and over again, with repetitive infections and unsuccessful surgeries. If a surgical procedure doesn't work the first three times, what makes them think it will work the fourth time? Why do these infections keep coming back? Seems to me it is time for a second (or third) opinion.

Again, I realize I probably shouldn't be sticking my 2 cents in, but I just hate to see Gary go through this, and cannot help but think there must be a better way. 

Regards,

Pete Fitch

All -

Gary Goers is one of the critical resources for our cars. If someone out there with some free time is looking to do a good deed, maybe they'd be willing to head up to Montana and give Gary and Alana a hand while Gary is recouperating. 

I hear that Kalispell is beautiful this time of year.
