So sorry. Its just such a wake up call...wishing your friend all the best

Fingers crossed for him Cath. That's one seriously tough break.

This is certainly a sobering thread, and one for anyone considering an approach of "tomorrow I'll do x, y or z".

How sad, hope they can save his foot, I am at the moment laid up with a broken ankle that I am not allowed to weight bear on it, it is the most disabling thing I have ever had and I know I am going to be fine in a couple of weeks. To be in your friends position to be permanently without a foot must be devastating - I really do wish him well and hope that this gives him the motivation to get his diabetes in check
