...this past summer he was in S.C. at his DD's softball tournament and they were spending the day on the beach. As a diabetic, he's lost most feeling in his feet. Well, he spent too much time standing on the hot sand and got a 2nd degree burn on the bottom of his foot. In and out of the hospital twice for the infection that ensued left him to be treated at home 3 days a week with a skin graft after most of the bottom of his foot was cut out. One of the idiot nurses visited and, [I'm assuming] by accident removed the skin graft, but never bothered to tell my brother! To make it worse, his insurance ran out, so the visiting nurses stopped coming, all the while giving him the runaround. By the time he went to the doctor's office, the doctor wanted to know what had happened to the skin graft - of course, my brother had no idea. The infection spread into his bones, so they had no choice but to amputate his foot.....
