#WarnWorld2018

Summer 2018. Day after Memorial Day. One year ago, I was hospitalized because my right big toe turned black from gangrene. After fits and starts, the toe was amputated on July 28 following related vascular surgery. That procedure followed earlier toe amputations in 2013 and 2014. Diabetes is no joke. I am blessed with the help of my live in caregiver Myerl who takes good care of me. Life after amputation is different, both better and worse. I lose my balance a lot and try hard not to fall down.Mostly,it has worked. From time to time, I take a fall. Insulin shots control my blood sugar numbers. Myerl controls my diet. My drive thru days are done. Just like so many other Life activities I used to enjoy: sex, cheese, milk, cookies,pies,standing, walking, going places. Anyways, this is my life today.
