For the past four days I've been in the hospital after I noticed that my right foot which has had a bad wound on it had gotten red and infected. So to be safe I went to the ER to have it looked at immediately, I'm a diabetic so that stuff is serious to me. I was seen and inspected and one night turned into three, day four I found out the news I had feared.

The toe is going to have to go. And maybe a few inches of foot under it. There was nothing that could have been done about it and I was even praised for keeping it as well maintained as I had. The wound developed a staph infection that traveled into the bone and up the top of the foot a little. I will not show pictures because they are pretty gnarly and graphic but trust me in that it's no bueno.

They are going to try to get me into surgery tomorrow to take care of this and then the real work of aftercare starts. I'm to keep my leg up above my heart 90% of the time and they do not want me on my feet for more than five minutes at a time.

I'm pretty scared about this, not going to lie but I know between mom and Noben and all my friends I'll have the support and safety net I need. Who knows maybe after this I'll have a badass cane or something, heh. Trying to keep light-hearted and as positive as I can because you guys know me, that's how I do.
