he has an infection in his leg. it can cause to ulcers etc so they are trying to find out what it is through swabs and blood tests, and treat ASAP.

feeling pretty low atm. he is feeling good, which can only be a good thing really, but his blood pressure is dangerously low, as is his sodium and potassium levels. apparently with levels as low as his he should;ve been passing out all the time, which he hasnt.

He sounds like quite a fighter Misdee. Hope he is well enough to be out soon. Make sure they look after those feet over there. x
