I just discovered a series of wounds on my right foot.

8. Oh, dear

Do you have a diabetic specialist? An internist? You must get those feet looked at. My diabetic sister ended up being a double amputee.

Other people know more about it than I do, but could you check out getting help through a social worker who can help you make a game plan? For instance, my parents were both disabled, and were able to get a home healthcare aid in about 3 times a week though a Medicaid program.

I know how easy it is to get really depressed, and feeling like there's no hope. It can be really hard to get proactive in your own care when you're mired down. Spend one day doing one thing, for instance, making phone calls. The next day, do another thing.

I wish you well, and better health. We care about you here. Please keep us posted.
