I would listen to the DR's orders best you can Gpa. I don't think you would want to loose a limb or 2.

A home care should contact me today.
Guess I wasn't taking this serious enough.
Infected toe can lead to bone which means losing some body parts.
Staying off my feet is to insure blood flow to promote healing.
Here I was all worried about my heart and kidneys and its a toe that causes more trouble. I'm tellin ya. My step mom lost her leg due to your exact circumstances. It has been a month and she is totally depressed and doesn't get out of bed. Trying to learn to even get to the bathroom. And she has my dads help. You being alone would be catastrophic.

follow as closely as possible, use common sense. As stated this is to improve venous blood flow. yep, I had a full flap skin graph to fix a spot on my foot that staph ate through. Staph came after having 7 pins and 2 screws placed to fix a broken heal. I often think that I would have been better off without the surgery. I had to wait for fracture blisters to clear so by the time I got the original surgery the bones were 90% healed. When I got the skin graph I could not put my foot down at all for a week. I rode home in my sisters SUV with my foot on pillows. I asked the doc what I was supposed to do when I had to sit on the throne. He just said make it quick. I was like I have not gone in 6 days while in this stupid hospital. It may not be quick the first time. I sat there with one foot up on my scooter. Wiping was a real challenge. Grandpa, did the doc tell you to also avoid caffeine?
