I may have to go into a hospital.

[catmandu]

I got a wound on my big toe, left foot and tried to take care of it myself so I would not disrupt My Cat's lives.
But it got infected and as I am diabetic I may have to stay in the Hopsital for a few nights.
Please pray that I do not have to as they have a shortage of rooms. and I would have to stay in the hall.
Iam taking antibiotics , does anyone know of a good herbal remedy

Take the antibiotics and follow the doctors instructions. Do you have someone to look in on the Found Cats while you are gone?

[emily_the_spoiled]

Gary, can you talk with your MD about getting home care to come in and help you while you are having this problem? That way you might not have to go to the hospital.

[Randi]

Gary, I too think it would be best if you can get a nurse to come in and help. Do talk to your doctor about it!

Hope the antibiotics work and you are better soon!

I'm sorry you have a foot infection and are diabetic. I know firsthand that that can be very serious so yes you do have to get it treated properly such as antibiotics imo. As others have suggested, ask if home care can be done. Kay in NC

Oh Gary, we are praying that someone can come to your home to take care of your foot, and that the antibiotics will knock out the infection.

Oh Gary, be careful! My boyfriend is diabetic and he has to be so careful about his feet. For Xmas, I gave him some socks made especially for diabetics. They are less likely to cut off circulation or cause abrasions, but they still fit well. He loves them! Like everyone else, I think you should ask for in-home care. Unless your doctor thinks it won't respond to antibiotics and home care, I would go with that. Take care my friend!

[catmandu]

Good news is that the infection looks better, and that I will not be an impatient patient
I hated my previous stay in the hospital and will never go in again

[Freedom]

Gay, I am only just seeing this now. PLEASE follow doctor's orders!!!

And yes, always ask about in home care. The visiting nurse program is just for this sort of thing!

[carole]

Oh dear Gary, please do take care, and DO follow doctors orders,this is indeed a matter to be treated seriously since you are a diabetic,don't mess around, if hospital is where you need to be, then please GO, and hopefully you will be in and out in no time and well again, take much care,thinking of you and HUGS.

Congratulations on the antibiotics working for you. Now just be careful with them

Hope all goes well with your treatment and you dont end up in hospital. Kay in NC

[moosmom]

Oh Gary,

Hang in there, buddy! You're in my thoughts and prayers.

[Laura's Babies]

That's good news! Remember to take them until the doctor says to stop!!! Then watch those feet close so you can catch any problem before it gets out of hand.
