Okay -- when I started helping Tom get dressed, the foot didn't look quite so dire. It's still red, but the two toes weren't purple.

Instead of taking him to Lee Urgent Care (it's still complicated for him to get to the car), I called the VNA and they are sending a nurse out around noon.

I just need to have a better trained medical eye take a look.

He's still on a 3-times-a-day antibiotic (which I have to get refilled this afternoon) and right now he's sitting with his feet up, ordered by both his doctors, and which he's been very good about doing.

I've now got a couple hour reprieve to get my hair washed -- I've missed several windows of opportunity lately and it's desperate.
