So she called me and my sister one day for lunch and said "look at my fingers, they are turning black". We told her "please let's go see a doctor". She agreed for the first time in her life. So we took her and Dr. Lee said go immediatley to the hospital and so we went. They let us know that she had diabetes and it was at 850. Her fingers were dying. We left her at the hospital that night. At about 3am in the morning we got a call that a doctor had decided to take her into surgery. He came out and said that my mother who was 62 had the body of a woman in her 70's. When we got to see her in ICU she had a pick line in her neck and was totally out of it. I had never seen anybody in that state so I can tell you how upset I was to see my own mother like that. I kept asking the doctors to amputate her arm as I watched her arm turn black from her fingers all the way up to just under her elbow. 2 days after surgery me and my sister were having a smoke downstairs and heard a code blue and got a call on the intercom to get up to ICU and my mother had a stroke. I don't know what to say to you but I think that they should have amputated my mother's arm and not gone into surgery the first night for exploratory surgery and I believe they caused the blood clots to form. Just My opionion. You should do what you think is right. My Thoughts and prayers are with you. Mary ann

Whenever a diabetic is checked regularly by a MD, the feet are checked as a standard routine.
One of the symptoms of a diabetics is circulation failure of the extremedies, namely the feet.
The MD's look for cracks, blisters, sores that are slow to heal and blackened toes.
If a toe is amputated, and due to poor circulation, usually is extremely slow to heal and stands a greater chance of becoming infected.
It is not unusual that if a toe is amputated, its followed by amputation of a portion of the foot, then the entire foot, then slowly it progresses to the knee, and so on.
There are no winners in this battle.
