OP here. Went to my wound care specialist this morning. He cleaned out the gunk from my big toe and we took this picture of my open wound. NSFL, but it proves the song: Ba-ba-ba-ba-bad to the bone. https://files.catbox.moe/85otf0.jpg
An RN this morning told me exactly as you say, @SummerBreeze. Not all red, no weeping pus. And I have no fever. She said it's a circulation issue and that is probably correctable.
Been down in the dumps, but you wonderful goats have kept me from takin irreversible actions. I'm hoping and now planning on surviving this, fixing the underlying causes and keeping my niggerfaggot status. Bless you all.
I had to take antibiotics one time because of a ****** hangnail. Toe got all plumpy and red and puss and all of that and my entire foot became sore and I couldn’t walk on it. I really thought I’d lose my entire foot.
Thanks boss! Despite all the bickering here, I just love this site of yours. It's my second home. So many rich and imaginitive posts and information to be found no place else.
FWIW, I try to leave you alone knowing you've got a life and shouldn't be spending all your time putting up with crybabies like me.
Keep up the good work and get out and live a little!
Here's the latest: My Cardiologist called me at 8pm (imagine that!) and said that they will wait 3 weeks to see if the wound is not still infected, and once cleared, he will laser out the vein (return-flow) for the leg. Already did the artery (down-flow) and must not alow the infection up the vein or all hell breaks loose. But if the toe heals, it gives this old diabetic good bloodflow and thereby, no more foot ulcers. Oh, plus HAPPY TOES!
My name is weirder than you can imagine. I have been corrupted by this sinister cult and my toes are happy because I don't wear shoes and go barefoot 360 days of the year.
What is sinister about the cult is that on the mailing list some of the members claim to be diabetics and claim that going barefoot has improved the circulation in their feet and reversed their peripheral neuropathy.
It is not an impossible claim. When you go barefoot you end up having to change your gait to avoid landing heavily on your heels. You end up using your calf muscles more. This squeezes the veins than run through the calf. Since the veins have non-return valves, this turns them into little pumps that help with the circulation. So maybe there is something in it.
But I'm aware of the "hoof to paw" transformation. Start going barefoot and you need to change from treating your foot as a hoof, for stomping and crushing, and treat it as a paw, for grasping and feeling. Fail to make the change and you will get lots of minor injuries (because you are no longer protected by shoes). Fail to make the change when diabetic and you will get gangrene and die.
I'm tired of waiting for you to die fucker. Hurry up.
Been trying but no luck. Come on over and push me down the stairs. With a bad big toe, the coroner will say I stumbled, and then my insurance pays out big time. Split it with my wife!

That's nasty. But I'm fascinated enough by medical stuff to know its not nasty nasty so at least you have that going for you. Remind me what happened again?
By the way, for that 4-10 1000mg ascorbic acid pills, it's best to take them throughout the day--for absorption. You can take them all at once and you'll be fine but you'll get far less absorption and you stand a higher chance of getting diarrhea.
Just put a handful in your pocket and pop them throughout the day.
You REALLY need to get on this as soon as possible to improve your circulation so your toe AND EVERYTHING ELSE heals quicker.
If you want to logically prove this works to yourself ask why there is a cutoff for vitamin C. It used to be much smaller but now I'm seeing the medical establishment is saying 2000mg a day is fine. Think about scurvy, how the fuck can they say 80mg a day is enough? Clearly 0mg a day is very bad. You see the outward signs that scurvy shows. Now how about 10, 40, 100? At what point is it optimal? Is there a bad point? It's water soluble so you quickly piss it out unlike say vitamin E which is fat soluble and you can build up too much.

I read somewhere that the high doses are only good short term because if you take them too long your body readjusts and considers the high amount of vitamin C in your system to be normal. Not sure how true or not that is but I only do the mega doses when I'm sick then stop when I'm better.

Maybe good for now with that hole. You'll just have to keep an eye on it (hopefully not 'them') to make sure it's not on fire, or falling off. I stupidly stuck a knife in my left arm, and cut right through the nerve trunk. Hand still works, but man, talk about a scar being sensitive to the touch.
Reminds me of a maggot-infested wound. Hear me out.
Maggots are awesome wound cleaners. They eat all the dead flesh and remove the pieces down to such a degree that they've been medically applied to people.
Such a treatment probably wouldn't help you at this stage, but it's not something that I'll be praying that you'll need. Keep fighting!

There is hope. Next Thursday I get the MRI and that's a deciding factor. My wound care specialist thinks he can save the toe, so who knows? After the toe is done, better or worse, my Cardiologist says he can laser out the vein, restoring full circulation. So there is still much to hope for.
And who is it keeping me going? My wife. Makes all the appointments and gets me everywhere on time. I'm lost without her. When all this is over and done, I want to begin a thread about being happily married. Picky guys and incels won't like it so much, but my wife breaks all the rules of UpGoat. Been married twice before. Has three grown kids. She worked in a restaurant full time. Just not the youthful virgin so in demand here. But after 26 years of marriage, she's a saint and truly a life saver. It's never too late to try again, and should everything work out with the foot, I hope to spend all my remaining years doing good things in appreciation. Oh, and here's a simple trick to keep the wife happy. For all our years together, each night I pull down the sheets and hold them up while she slides in for the night. Women love the shit out of little but persistent things like that.

Oh man, that was a long read. Glad your toe is salvageable. Now you better take care of your health, if only in appreciation of your wife. Speaking of, no one said you cannot find the rare good woman despite all the baggage. The point is to not use edge or rate cases to justify the shift in normalcy.
As a GENERAL rule, a virgin young woman from a solid family with a good relationship with her father s a better bet for a wife and a mother.
Some women can have bad circumstances or signs and still be good. A tattooed up woman with multiple prior partners might be loyal and become a good mother. BUT the odds are not in her favour.
