Ive taken a look at the ulcer again this morning and it does not seemed to have changed to much from how it looked last night. The reason i try to be very prompt in getting these matters dealt with at the earliest possible convenience is that 3 years ago mum had a urine infection which quickly turned into a kidney infection and resulted in sepsis which im sure you all are aware can be life threatening. She did recover from the sepsis but with residual pain in her legs and with the T2 diabetes and her transverse myelitus condition (causes nerve damage)  i feel she is at greater risk of slow healing and infection spreading than the average person so i really do panic when these issues arise. Also to address someones point above i think i need to look into some proper shoes for diabetic people and also some other kind of socks. She currently wears sketchers trainers which appear to be nice and soft but i think they might be a tad bit to narrow at the front so i will look into this. Iff anyone has advise on optimal footwear please advise me  as i am open to all ideas.</p></blockquote><p></p>
