    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 am getting a second opinion from a Doctor Meyer who thinks that Doctors amputate too often and he has saved many people from having to go through that pain.
    They would have amputated yesterday , the money hungry ghouls.
    Medicine in Canad is far from perfect and my Cats have no place to go.

    Hi Gary,

    I just wanted to find out how you were doing and if the anti-biotics were working?
