Hi Ian, unbelievably he has fought back from severe haemolytic aneamia.. No long term side affects would exist from this condition but with the agressive treatment of a whole cocktail of drugs administered intravenously through his leg, the swelling this caused has resulted in tissue damage which eventually started rotting away.. You wouldn't think he was ever sick apart from the hobbling caused by the loss of the pads and flesh on his two toes. The left foot has also been affected by to a much lesser degree. The skin is growing back quite quickly but some of the dead tissue still remains. I've snipped away as much as he would let me and the area I was really hoping was not affected, as it still had some pad, sadly tore away today when he heard the knock at the door.. (F*&%$£g tree fellers, I can't tell you how many of them knock on my door ) The nail broke away with this piece and by the looks of things, what remained of his toe is now gone. Shame, he's left pulling a permanent zap on his right foot! Thanks for the support guys. My wife can't stomach the details so it helps to tell strangers who care. Juno, pull yourself together and come get your hugs!
