Your story of how Trash got her name is hilarious, and had me laughing out loud throughout the entire tale. And I loved her adorable baby pictures too.
I truly am sorry you are going through this. Unfortunately, due to the appearance of her left shank, it will literally take a miracle (from God) for the foot to not detach. With Matilda, her left foot was obviously extremely damaged (and dead) within a month after the frostbite ocurred. But I continued to hold out hope for her right foot. Weeks after the left foot detached, the right foot held on. It took a full 13 weeks after frostbite injury, and 7 weeks after the left foot detached, before the right foot did too. I stared down crestfallen at the separated dead right foot, & thought "Wow. It's really happened. Matilda has lost Both her feet."
But Matilda didn't feel sorry for herself, & Trash won't either. I unwrap, examine, and rewrap her stumps weekly, & sometimes I still feel sad if I stare too long at her stumps. But Matilda doesn't feel sad; she just patiently waits until I get the stumps rewrapped so she can carry on with her day.
