Heel Amputated from diabetes osteomylitus
Hello..I am 52 yrs..- T2 (over 15 yrs)-Live in NJ-and lost my heel Oct 2010. I am still waiting for the wound to close. It has been Very Slow. My Last Doctorts visit--he said I most likely will only need minimal padding. Smile.Can anyone else relate? I am wondering how well i will be able to walk-without limping- and for how long each day. This has been extremely difficult. Thank you all.See More
