and the , sadly possibleremoval of toesI might not be able to get internet access , as Canadain Hospitals do not have Chat rooms , at all. My Cats will have the Animal Welfare to keep them fed , and to hange thier litter boxes , but somehow it wont be the same , somehow.I am on night passes now , but if the toes go , I will have to stay. Please pray for me , the Cats and the Left foot Little Piggies!
Ouch, Gary that sounds painful. What's happened and how come you need to have some toes removed???
Oh Gary, I hope everything will be fine with you and the cats!!!
Prayers are on the way!!!
Lots of prayers coming your way, Gary. Please take care of yourself. We will all be thinking of you.
The sad fact is that I scalded my foot , and being a diabetic , it did not heal. Then I tried to tough it out , not knowing how serious it was. By the time that I went to emergency , it was too late. But I had gone to my regular clinic , and had traib\ne Visiting nurses , and they didnt see yat the abck of the toes have gone septic. But a Wound nurse saw it , and now the Cats might get a sitter. I will bve on night passes , by I will have to stay , maybe 2 weeks , when he operation happens , and will iss talking to all of you. I will keep Jen posted , and give her updates. Thank You , for being my friends! Gary aka Catmanmdu!

Gary,
All of us here in Cincinnati are praying for a speedy resolution, good care for the kitties, and will be anxiously awaiting your return!
Gary take care of yourself, your kitties will be fine. From now on you keep a watch on your feet, and don't overlook your health.
We will be looking forward to hearing reports from Jen on how you are doing.
Take care and get back to us as soon as possible.

Oh Gary, I am so, so sorry to hear this. When you are a diabetic, that is the one thing you have to watch carefully for, is any sores on your feet or legs. They have to be taken care of right away.
My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your kitties.
Take care of yourself Gary and have a full and speedy recovery.
Will keep watch for Jen's updates on you.
Oh Gary, so sorry to hear about your toes .... I sure hope they can save them. But if not, I pray that you will heal quickly and be able to return home to your babies! I was diagnosed with diabetes myself just 4 months ago.... I'm just now starting to get used to my counsellor making me pull my socks off every darn visit! ;)
HUGS!!!
Elvis is sending you many head bumpies to make you feel better.

I hope everything goes well at the big hospital with the white coats! Lost cats, you all be good for your Daddy while he goes away, won't you?
Hi Gary. Lucy and I send a kiss to each one of your lovely toes and lots of warm fluffy hugs to keep you safe and well while you are in hospital.
We know you don't want to lose your toes but honestly, one toe or ten toes - makes no difference to us! Please look after yourself.
Gary, it is with much sorrow that I read about your condition and the possible surgery.
You can be sure that you have my prayers that all will go well and you will soon be home with your kitties again.
Gary I am so sorry to hear about the problems, and you are having. I am however glad that you are now getting treatment for it. I know that this can be serious.
I am glad that if you do have to stay that your kitties will be cared for, but I understand that it is just not the same as you doing it.
Prayers to you for a quick and speedy recovery. Hugs to all of the furkids, as I am sure that they will miss you if it does come to surgery.
Keep us updated when you can. You will also be missed as you always have such great things to say.
Good Luck Gary & I hope your time away is short. Will say
prayers for a quick recovery. I know your kitties will miss you
too, so hurry & get well soon.:)
Gary may not see this thread for at least a month. He will not have internet access. If you'd like to send him a get well wish, PM me as I am compiling your thoughts and will send them snail mail. I will split them up into several mailings so he does not have to wait for those that respond early and those that respond late will know that there's will still be sent.
EEK!! I too understand the need to care for diabetic feet, being a diabetic (Type 1) myself. Get well soon!
I am printing out the first set of PM's that I have received PLUS all the responses to this thread and will be mailing it this morning. But keep the PM's coming as I want to send MORE. You can even mail updates on things that you would post here on Pet talk that Gary will miss while he is off line.
I printed the long list with each person's comments in a different color so they are easily distinguished from one another. I think I have over 30 responses to send.
Thanks Jen! I'm sending you some more now. :)
If any of you want to send separate cards to Gary, PM Jen and get her address, and she will forward them to Gary. You can also PM me and get it. :)
Lots of thoughts and healing vibes sent your way. *hugs*
