Arrrrr

One of our neighbours has been fighting a year long battle with ulcerations on one heel, caused by Trpe 2 diabetes.

Surgeons have been trying to save his leg by abrading the ulcerations, but they kept returning. A few weeks ago he was rushed to hospital with sepsis and his leg had to come off below the knee. On the plus side, all the anxiety was over and his life was safe. On the minus side he now has to wait to be fitted with a prosthesis and learn how to walk again.

I bought him a present to celebrate coming home.

Hay thought it a bit insensitive but, being a Yorkshireman and hard as nails because of that, he appreciated it.
