Well. Over the weekend, I found that my cousin, who I take care of, had a sore on his toes.
He's had problems with this foot for as long as I've taken care of him, and he's lost 2 of the toes because of frostbite and diabetes.
Thankfully, he has no feeling in that foot, but it's a problem as well. He's developmentally disabled, and thinks, since his foot doesn't hurt, it's fine. He also has no comprehension of sweets being bad for him, and it's always been a problem keeping his glucose level down.
Well, things have come to a head, and monday morning, the last three toes will be amputated. Since I care for him, I keep thinking, is there anything I could have done differently, but I know there's not.
Still, it's hard not to be second guessing myself.
