August 16/2024
Was supposed to see Hodgson for a follow up on my AFO, but
had to cancel and head to the ER; the ulcers on my big toe
got to the point where I can't keep up with them. At this point,
I'm scared to death of infection, so in the ER they took blood,
swapped the blisters, gave me some oral antibiotic and an
injection of antibiotics. I have ten days of oral antibiotic
to take, and await a call from the IV clinic at the hospital to
see when I start my daily IV antibiotics.

Saw the vascular surgeon that did my pinky-toe amputation.
He said this toe doesn't look that bad, and to continue the
antibiotics for another two weeks. The other option is to cut it off,
so we will try plan A first.
