...When I rest by the side I sometimes get people giving me their leftovers , or money , although I'm not trying to beg . One recent day it happened three times . When I,m on the ground I look like a Lon Chaney cripple :( .
The whole dynamic of other people in the cruddy SRO hating me because of my digestive/eliminative problems has continued , and its stopping me from properly getting treatment :cry: .

Maybe you're now eligible for better housing.

I know you don't like that SRO you're staying in.

They don't amputate unless the tissue is rotting, so you must have diabetes or something that's causing ulcers on your feet that won't heal.

You need to ask the doctors how you can avoid future amputations and DO whatever they tell you or you'll lose your legs.

What you need is a glucometer, test strips, diabetic medication or insulin and no junk or fast food.

This^^. Diabetes runs in my family. My mother almost lost her toes, through lack of proper self-care.

...I had gangrene , it is official , and I had flesh taken off of my foot beyond the two taken-this-time toes , too , and it's still a gaping wound , with redness::-( and it's supposed to be rebandaged thrice daily .
I have no idea what I'm going to do once I'm kicked out of the hospital , I'm not super-optimistic:-(.
This only sprang up in the last week/-ish , by contrast the 2015 amputations:-( took months if not years to build up .
At least I was able to find a charger getting this phone in working order and at least the hangerswasn't wasn't 100% overlooked entirely , which it came close to being .

If people are getting that vibe from you, then you probably need to clean yourself up a bit.

What are your digestive/eliminative problems?

He has congestive heart failure, so he has fluid buildup. He retains water. When he takes "water pills," he has to pee massively.

I would guess that all this also causes diarrhea, too.

I hope he can now get a wheelchair, and some kind of room for people with chronic diseases, with a bathroom in the room.
