    Oh Gary, I am so very sorry to hear this sad news. Is there any other option for you than amputation? If you haven't already, you might want to consider a second opinion. My prayers are for you and that you'll be able to keep your kitty companions. Many here are on your side and willing to help in any way possible. Please keep us updated on your situation. Sending [[[[[HUGS]]]]] to you.

    Oh my. I certainly hope you do not have to lose your foot and I hope you can stay there at the Found Cat Hotel and help all the kitties you've been helping for all these years.
    You will be in my thoughts.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Oh my!!!! - distressing news for sure. But like others have said - get a second opinion - and a third if necessary. Prayers that all will work out for the good - both for you and all of your beloved kitties too.

    By all means, Gary, get a second (at least) opinion.

    We are praying for you and sending all our loving energies.

    When you get the second opinion, can you ask about home care services to care for your feet? Ontario Health should cover something like that but your MD would need to order it.

    Prayers for the best outcome possible, Gary!

    I would think there is money available from the government to renovate your home if it has to be done.

    Praying it doesn't come to that!

    Oh dear, this does go along with diabetes, sad to say. I am so sorry to read this, Gary.

    Have you already been for wound care? Do you already have dead tissue? Don't let gangrene develop or you could be in for a serious health battle.

    Prayers from RI.

    Gary, an amputated foot does NOT mean a wheelchair! I have known many diabetics in my life (it runs in my family) and with an amputated foot, you can use a walker or crutches until you can have a prosthetic made. Do not settle for a wheelchair! If you need your foot amputated do so, your life may depend on it. but don't let them strap you to a wheelchair. Not at all necessary. You would just need to have someone take care of your kitties until you make are fully recovered.
    Proud to be a crazy cat lady!

    I agree that losing one foot does not mean a wheelchair--- and I would certainly be getting a few more opinions unless time is of the essence.
    Don't sell your home just yet, you might be pleasantly surprised---Good luck to you.

    I've been frosted--- thank you Cassie'smom

    I've been Boo'd----
