Ah, give them a foot, just don't let them take a mile...
My heart goes out to you John.
About 20 years ago, I had a severe knee injury that took 8 hours of surgery to repair. Literally, my right leg was hanging from just the tissue at the back of the knee...
Anyway, I read the op report afterwards and the surgeon had written that he was very pleased that the knee was able to flex 90 degrees. Don't know if you've ever thought much about that, but in order run, your knee must flex significantly past 90 degrees...
Well, I used to run 5 miles a day and it was a very big part of my life.
I made up my mind right then that it was not going to screw up my life - period.
I doubled all of physical therapy they prescribed me and, to this day, I don't limp. No, I can't run anymore as the muscles and nerves were too damaged but oh well...
I say, to the hell with it - get rid of the infection, cut the sucker off if necessary and move on...
You've got bigger fish to fry my friend.
Your family and Power Wagon are calling you...
