Oh am sorry to hear you have to go through this. Do they think the infection has spread from your ankle (the doctors) or is it just for the ankle part.?

I’m so sorry you have to go through this. I really hope it clears up the staff infection. That’s so important.

Oh okay.
I’m glad they are being very thorough because infections that spread can be dangerous.
They are taking good care of you. That’s great.

@LilyoftheValley yes… My dad died a day after seeing the doctor though (doctor said he was fine when in reality he wasn’t doing well)

The dr said he was fine?! Did you sue?! How could he be fine if he died the next day?!?!

Yes I think it’s called sepsis. Which is a little bit deadly sometimes.
I really hope you will be okay. I would be a bit scared too!
But I think you will hopefully be fine because you are also still quite young so the body is still stronger to fight.
How’s the eating thing going where you reduce how many meals you eat.

I over ate today and had a doughnut but otherwise it’s going well
I think mom felt so bad for me today she just let me enjoy food today… I’ve been really struggling… Lots of pain
@LilyoftheValley I’m hopeful

Wow you’re doing good. It’s harder to reduce meals when in difficult circumstances yea, cos of the stress. So comfort eating can sometimes help.
But you’re doing good.
I hope the pain reduces soon enough because it must be distracting to your peace of mind a bit.

Yes you could be doing better. But about your eating, you’re doing a good job, is what I meant, changing eating patterns is not usually a smooth journey, but nevertheless the change sometimes does eventually happen.
