April 1, 2019 admitted to icu in septic shock from misdiagnosed necrotizing fasciitis in my right foot. I went into my local beach, Perdido Key , FL, and came out with something very scary wrong with my right foot. I was limping within hours. Next day I couldn’t put any weight on my right foot. Two days later, septic. I was rushed to the hospital. Was in hospital for three months. Ten weeks IV antibiotics, multiple organ failures, four major surgeries on my foot, wound care, PT. My Podiatrist/surgeon saved my life and my foot. Thank you to all the amazing Podiatrists who continue to save lives and limbs.

Not once did I ever demonstrate in front of him annoyance nor did I ever patronize or disrespect him in any way because I knew he couldn't help his actions nor was he the blame for being in that state of mind. I was always patient and kind by sometimes giving him the illusion that he was still in control to keep his dignity. My father was a great, loving father who was VERY patient with my immaturity when I was growing up as a wild kid. The least I could do as an adult taking care of him was return the favor. I get it's very hard and challenging for them, especially his son but not any harder than what his father is going through mentally with the frustrations, confusion, nightmares etc day to day, night to night that only worsens with time. Also, the only reason I chose to take care of my father was because quite simply, I love him and that he would've done the same for me. I didn't need a pat on the back or money, or even a thank you. Knowing that he was not alone and knowing that he knew that I was by his side and not abandoned up until the end, is enough for me to be content and satisfied.
