Subject: Dwayne Update

Dwayne came thru the second surgery well. The Dr's are very hopeful. He did loose another small portion of the side of his foot today. He has to go into surgery again tomorrow and possibly may have to have many more surgerys to clean the bones and flesh. He will probably be in the hospital for many weeks. As many of you know Dwayne is a diabetic which makes his feet and legs very vunerable to infection. Dwayne's case is a little more serious. Because of his spinal cord injury he has very little if any feeling from his knees down so he can't feel it if he gets hurt. This injury was caused by a sprained ankle he received a week ago at the track. He got a blister on his foot on Friday because of the swelling and by Mon. the infection in his foot caused the small toe to turn black. As a result he is now going thru something that most of us would be screaming in agony from. Because he cannot feel he was awake for his second surgery and and has only had one shot for pain. His spirits are good and he now knows how very careful he has to be. He said to tell anyone with this desease to be very careful and do alot of inspections daily. By the way--he said he dosen't need the missing toe any way--it just whined and whined all the way home.
