Moving ahead

   The day after Labor Day I had my final appointment with the surgeon and the infection doctor.  Both said they won't need to see me again unless I run into problems.  That is pretty exciting.  My foot is 99% healed now and looking really good.  Next - the orthopedic shoe.  It's a major expense that my insurance doesn't cover so that is another hurtle.  Working on the details for just how I will obtain this very important item.
   In early October I will see the eye specialist in Philadelphia for a check up and I will also have my first appointment with the foot doctor.  He will keep an eye on what's happening with my feet.  This is probably the most important part of my treatment next to keeping my diabetes under control.
    The neuropathy in my feet and hands causes me severe pain.  It's funny that I can't feel things with my feet and fingers yet I have so much tingling, burning and pain.  There are treatments for neuropathy but, I am not sure I am ready for that.  Thanks for your prayers.
