15. Yes, I am diabetic and have bad neuropathy in my feet.

My BS is usually around 110-115. No, my diet is not the best, but I eat what I can afford. Unless someone is going to subsidize my food bill, that is the way it is.

The wound is on the bottom of my right foot, on the ball of the big toe. It is about the worst place for such a thing. I cannot just sit all day, thanks to my back, my knees, and my hips. So, what am I supposed to do? No one is helping me keep the place livable. I have to do it all. I cannot do so on my knees, even if I could crawl around on my knees anymore.

I have had this thing for over a year now. It is not going to heal, because my body is fucked. I could get it fixed... if my last name was Soros or Musk, but it is not, and so I am not worth the effort, apparently.

They are hinting at amputation, should it not get any better. I can tell you that this is not an option. Period.
