Hey, it's KICK DAVID WHILE HE'S DOWN Month, or BAD THINGS COME IN THREES
My mother is in the hospital. She let her diabetes go unchecked, so when she got an infection in her foot her body could not fight it, and it swelled up to the size of a large grapefruit, festered, caused much tissue and bone damage.
They are amputating the front portion of her foot today at 7:30 am. Should be complete around 9am.
3-4 weeks of antibiotics and they'll see if the infection has been cleared, if not, they take the leg off at the knee.
Please, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, send best wishes, warm thoughts, juju, whatever, to my mother. She'll need as much love as possible right now.
Oh, and me? I'm a complete staggering wreck now. I was already well past my ability to deal with a single emotional crisis, and this is number 3.
