About a two years ago a good buddy of mine had a mild heart attack. A bypass was done. The he began having problems with his lower leg, where they had taken the vein with which to perform the bypass. At least 3 operations on the leg, I don't know how many times he passed out because they couldn't get the blood thinner dosages right, many months off from work, pain, frustration and more pain.

The docs took his leg off three inches above the knee yesterday morning.

We all about half expected him to not let them take it. He's a very stubborn man, makes his living moving gigantic factory machinery, and the kind you might expect to choose dying over losing a leg.

His wife told me he never said but one word when they presented the scenario to him: Alright.

That's not my buddy. I'm afraid he's giving up.
