Just to let everyone know Boxman will be going back in the hospital due to an infection in his foot. He will have to go back into the hyperbolic chamber in hopes that the wound will heal. Lets say a few extra prayers that this works to save his foot.

Boxman, make sure you hop on out of there quickly (I know bad pun!).

Boxman,
I too have almost both of my feet to ulcers.  That was several years ago, the infection never made it to the bone but came very close.  I was hospitalized a few times, but managed to keep off my feet and took really good care of it.  I don't feel below my knees and can't remember what it was like to have sensation in my toes.  I can barely move them, if I try really hard I can.  So I know what you're going through!  I shall be sending a goodly strong vibe your way, whereever you are out there.....  Keep your feet up!  and chin too!  You'll get through this one!

Boxman is in good spirits but disappointed in the setback. He is on IV antibiotics, a wound vac and the hyperbaric chamber. Any cards will be appreciated.
