All started in 1995, my annus horibilis. Type 1 just before this happened.
I too suffered the leg chop. Ingrowing toenail, made it bleed, brown gunk
under nail and red line up the leg. GP gave me oral pills, red line kept
going. Should have had an IV.
Nail drops off, toe goes half black. Into the abbatoir, woke up with no toe
as expected but artery bypass as well, never discussed. After 15 months
bypass
fails and more black toes. below knee chainsaw and they left me with a bone
spike which broke through and would not heal. I had to cut off some bone and
it took months to heal over.
My bad for not paying attention to footcare.
