Mr. Bratt, I I'm so sorry for what you're going through. My mother's been in the hospital more times than I can recall with central lines giving antibiotics, and she's still got half of her foot amputated. I know what a source of pain and frustration it is for that very active woman.
I think that's why I'm a bit paranoid about the entire thing.
Both sores are healed, and I've changed my footwear choices. I still wear Keds or ballerina flats when I go out but as soon as I get in I change to slippers. I bought several extra pair so that there would always be one available.
The last rub healed a lot more rapidly, and I'll make sure to mention all of it to my doctor when I see her next, because it *just* seems to be my feet. Sores elsewhere have healed with their customary speed.
Thank you again.
