Once my foot got infected ( my immune system was beaten to shit by the chemo ) , it grew to twice it's normal size , especially the second toe , and that toe had some kinda black crusty shit on it . Three different doctors had come in to say that the thing was going to be removed , until someone called for the specialty Wound Care Nurse , who started scraping the black stuff off. It fucking hurt like crazy , so they started giving me dilaudid and even fentanyl every time she was coming around to torture me , but I am so grateful she did . She saved my toe . It was fucking excruciatingly painful , and there were months of followup , but she saved my toe when others said it had to go . It meant an extra month in the hospital .
