Woman wrote break-up letter to her FOOT after choosing to have it amputated ...

A woman who chose to have her foot amputated after years of pain from a childhood accident wrote a 'break up' letter on her skin, saying: 'It's time we parted ways'.

Jordan Beckwith, 27, made the life-changing decision to become an amputee after growing tired of non-stop surgery as a result of the horse-riding fall.

Before the two-and-a-half-hour operation, the realtor, of Colorado Springs, scribbled a note on her limb to say goodbye to her right foot.

Alongside jottings from friends, she wrote: 'It's not me, it's you. I'm sure we've had some good times together, but it's time we parted ways. I wish you all the best.'

She signed off the note: 'Your blood supplier'.

It's over: Jordan Beckwith, 27, made the heart-wrenching decision to become an amputee after growing tired of non-stop surgery from the age of 13

Mrs Beckwith, married to Brian, 35, a financial advisor, was just 13 when she was thrown from an over-excited horse and shattered her ankle in 2005.

'My horse tripped and I went over her shoulder. I landed on my neck and blacked out for a second,' she said.

'When I came to, my ankle was bad, I was in pain. I tried to stand up but I blacked out again.'

She was taken to urgent care where doctors discovered she had broken the tibia bone in her lower leg.

'The bottom chunk of the bone had broken. An inch of it had snapped off and was shoved up into my leg,' she said. 'It was a very, very odd injury.

'The doctor called to another doctor and they said they had never seen something like it before.'

She was forced to wait three days before her ankle could be operated on, because it was so swollen. 

'They couldn't fix it right way,' she added. 'It was so swollen that the skin wouldn't have closed.'

Two months later, an X-ray revealed the surgery had been unsuccessful.

'The doctor said it hadn't aligned right. They broke my ankle again and redid the surgery. But it always hurt. I was taking handfuls of Advil to deal with the pain.'

A year later, she underwent an ankle fusion where the bones of her ankle were connected with a steel plate and six screws. However, this also caused problems.

'It never felt right. All through high school, I was in pain, she said. 'For the last 14 years, I've always been on some kind of pain medication. 

'I have been active but I'm always limping. About 18 months ago, I got to the point that it never got better. There were only bad days.

'I couldn't walk, I couldn't do my job, I couldn't even take my dogs for a two-minute walk. I couldn't do jiu jitsu. I was icing my
