My thoughts and prayers are going out to him. It's a scary thing, I'm sure, to be faced with the loss of his toe. Let us know how he's doing!Thanks so much for your kind words and for sending your prayers and thoughts to him.He went to the doctors and they sent him right to the hospital and that was like 1 month ago...And they said they dont know what caused it. But since then its just worser and worser and he had to go back into the hospital and the hospital cant tell him what it is either.His whole foot is swole up like a balloon. They have given him the choice...Either have an op to see what is making it swell up or get the toe removed...But they have also told him...If he leaves it too long then he will have to have his foot off...And that could spread up his leg and in the end he will have to have the whole leg amputated.So he has said for them just to take the toe off because he dont want to have his foot off.It was such an hard desicion for him...I feel so so sorry for him.Even tho you cant hear or wont read this.......Love you to bits Paul...Hope the op goes well on Monday <3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bunnyfuzzyness 0 Posted July 16, 2010 I pray for his recovery,I know that it is very scary to have anything amputated.My heart breaks for him and I miss being the nurse, instead of the patient.He will need his family more than ever and I can't emphasize how bad I feel for him.Send him our prayers.

sinenomine 0 Posted July 17, 2010 I am very sorry for your uncle Pink, probably it was a specie of medusa, you know, here in this area there is a season of a kind of medusa reproduction, and if they hit a body the area turns swollen and black, some of them are tiny and they cant be seen, biologists constantly monitor sea and rivers and when they detect this, nobody can swimI hope you uncle will soon be fine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xPink.Pixel.Princessx 0 Posted July 17, 2010 UPDATE...Apparently its poison in his toe but he has got Diabeties so he is not reacting to the medication as well as you and me would.He still has to have his toe off monday tho but he is alot better in his self now which is a good sign.He has been up and down the hospital since september and they have only just figured out what it was..... Its the hospitals fault that he now needs his toe off....He should really go somewhere about that because at the end of the day...The hospital should have started treatment last year for it and now look what its gotton to.They told him it was just a bruse >.<Stupid Stupid hospital!!!Anyways....the end result is that he needs to have his toe off and learn how to walk again. Thought are with you uncle Paul. Love you loads <3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
