"My Left Foot" (Seventy-Two Years Old, Hypertensive, Diabetic, White Male) 2012

They cut my big toe off.  That was fine I guess, at least it wasn’t my whole left foot like this one doctor wanted to do.  Then the toe next to where my big toe used to be started doing the same thing, turning black.  So I told the doctor, “Why don’t y’all just cut all of them off.  Cause it seems they are all going to get infected, so just lop them all off.  I’ll be alright.”  Then the doctor looked at me and said, “You know, I think that would be the best Joe.  Then you don’t have to worry about that happening anymore.” 

So here I am, toeless on my left foot.  But hey, I’m still walking and kicking rocks!
