For nurses eyes


Sue is on a mission to save Soy's foot. Soy has diabetes and his foot is a shocker. He's been given a week before the axe literally falls. Today was that week - and the progress has been so excellent that an amputation is being postponed ...

My girl is not a happy camper tonight tho'. Soy started getting a fever this afternoon. A bit of digging uncovered that he had not been holding to his antibiotic course because the medicine made him feel sick. Sue firmed up a bit on that one. She told him feeling sick was better than being dead.

His blood sugar level is half of last week's readings and his purple toes have regained colour and feeling. Sue has taught the girls how to do the foot dressings and she has been hacking away with her scissors, removing dead skin. It's just so frustrating when our lovely people go and do dopey things!
