Elegantly put.    It’s a shame that picture and writing of that quality will never find their way into the websites of Raging Chestpain, Witless Weigh More, the NAAFA, the ASDAH, the HAES Community or any of the rest of those health-hating, dishonest and delusional websites. That’s clearly the “before” picture, so I wonder what the “after” (a/k/a post-surgery) shot would look like.   I really don’t know, so anybody who does know, please help me out here...   With a foot like this one--when three toes are totally dead and rotting, a fourth is 90% of the way to the same condition and a good part of the foot itself is also clearly starting to die off, how much do the docs cut off?   Do they even try to “save” (probably a poorly chosen word) any part of the foot or do they just saw it off above the ankle and move on to the next one?
