Where's the Skin Horse when I need one??

Whole lot of yikes today.

A colleague is getting his foot amputated. He broke it months ago, and didn’t know it or didn’t get it treated and now he has a life-threatening infection and they say it has to come off. I admit my stomach dropped at the thought. I can only imagine how he’s feeling. Add that to the case of scarlet fever we have at work, and like I told huntsman77, it’s like we’ve gone back in time! Isn't scarlet fever what the kid in the Velveteen Rabbit had so they had to burn all his stuff?

Yikes.

well, it's never fun to lose a foot. It's a loss, and it's scary and a giant trauma for the body and the mind. But at the end of all that, you get used to it, and your life doesn't actually change very much at all. You can do everything you used to do, most people can't tell there's anything different about you at first glance, and it doesn't fuck up your health too much long term. So he'll be ok.

I had scarlet fever as a kid. Antibiotics are wonderful things.
