I hate hearing how medical procedures turn out to be torture. Glad to hear you're out of that chamber.  |

Sorry you had to go through that Box I have to say they would have never gotten me in the first place I am absolutely claustrophobic! They wanted to give you "relaxation pills" I wonder what was in these "relaxation pills" lol.....medical service providers crack me up sometimes. Good luck Box I hope you heal quickly.  |

well today I had a check of the foot and was told by the surgeon that now the 4th toe is starting to go south he scheduled me to have my three lower veins in my leg looked at and place stints in them if needed. This will be next Thursday. If stints are placed it will help the blood flow better down to the foot and help the healing....It is hard not to have these depressing feelings, it is tough to stay positive...Boxman

Sorry to hear about your toe. Diabetes is a really hard road, but at least you have some good company on it. I hope the blood flow to your foot is all going well and you get a rest from these problems for a good long while.

How awful! It's very disenheartening to have news like that. To have something drag on and on. I so hpoe the stents work, and they can get the bloood cicrulating down into your foot again. Go ahead and be depressed, get angry, then bounce back, sometimes we just need some time to vent, to get just feel sorry for ourselves. Heaven knows, you sure do deserve a pity party right now! How about a drink on me?  |

If Boxman is going to be parading around in silk jammies, all the ladies here might want to come and take a look. (How far is it from the coast of NC to Milwaukee, anyway?)

luck with the stents.
