a quality of life

 wee Isobel my partner has been through hell over the past year, the risks of having diabetes took its turn and august last year blood clots started in her left foot and spread through her leg,  unfortunately the leg could not be saved and they amputated below the knee.

as the weeks passed we noticed that the wound was not healing the way it should, and nurses were called in, this went on for month after month,infection started in the wound which they could not control

.weeks later problems started in her right foot and leg also.  Isobel is the strongest and most kind person you could ever meet and doesn't deserve all this,my heart went out to her. a few weeks ago isobel was taken into hospital again and the infected left leg had to be amputated again,this time above the knee.how bad could things get for her.

they started treating the right leg and foot where clots had started again. 4 days later her right leg was amputated we were all devastated.

the day before her final amputation,she cried as to be expected, i could only hug her and tell her i am here for you. the risks for her coming through this were high the Surgeon explained.

she said one thing to me.will i still be with her having no legs?

i broke my heart

the next question was....will you marry me..

ive known isobel since i was born..we lived next door to each other,she even baby sat me

yes there is an age gap,but age is just a number

sure i said i will marry herxxx i love this woman so much.

isobel is now home recovering and doing very well with my support and a very close friend

i have worked all my life and have been a carer before. i swore to her i would look after her and that i will..the nhs cant give me the support i need...and on that note people,i have gave up work to become her full time carer. she deserves a quality of life

we are getting married on sept 4th this year,it is low key,just a simple wedding but one we will treasure for the rest of her lives together

i am trying to raise some funds for her,we dont know what lays ahead.,we have no savings

i now have no income and are awaiting my application for carers allowance

please give what you can people

at the end of the day i dont have the means to get her out and about,she needs that quality of life that everyone is entitled too

thank you
