My brother aged 64 yrs is shortly to undergo amputation of one of his big toes due to infection. I am trying to find out as much as possible about what to expect as he is the sole carer for our 96 yr old mother and I need to get some plans in place.
Any experiences that you can share would be helpful e.g. how long will he be in hospital (assuming all goes well)? How long before he can drive? How long will he be off his feet? Anything really as I am completely in the dark and discussion with him/ my mother is not always easy.
