He thought he could treat it himself and somehow managed to get here from Cali w/a majorly infected foot. It took me 4 days to talk him into seeing a doctor. The good news is they managed to save most of the foot and w/some heavy duty antibiotics the infection should be eradicated.

He definitely hasn't lost his sense of humor. There's not a female that he's not flirted w/ and not a male who hasn't walked away from him w/ a smile on his face.

OMG - what a terrible thing to happen. Learning to walk again without toes will be a major challenge, but I'm sure he will persevere - but why are men so darned stubborn to begin with?? Please tell him that I was asking for him, and I'm sending prayers out for a speedy recovery.
