I cannot thank Christine Ashton enough. the FNP-C, who took care of me of late at the Cleaver Medical Center, for the way she quickly recognized that a foot ailment that had gotten serious caused me to have Cellulitis and needed immediate attention.
I made it clear when I communicated with the staff member that saw me first that my right foot, which I had sustained a toe operated on a couple of weeks back, had gotten seriously inflamed and had me greatly in pain.
This appointment was supposed to be my annual visit to check my body for various skin cancers/issues that FNP-C Ashton had dealt with previously.
My whole body is underdoing issues basically from head to toe, from type 2 Diabetes, kidney issues, veinous insufficiency issues on both legs, an esophagus problem, poor hearing, gastroenterology concerns and a loss of appetite that had seen my weight drop to 148.7 a few weeks back.
But in spite of all the noted issues noted above, the foot had become the one most pressing, literally and figuratively, because a friend of mine that died a few years ago, first lost a toe, then his ankle, then right knee up to his knee as a result of uncontrolled Diabetes issues that had spiraled out of control.
Obviously, that was something that I was hoping to avoid.
I don't know that I'm out of the proverbial woods yet with the right foot issue, but thanks to Mrs. Ashton's expert handling of my infirmary, the pain has greatly decreased and the extreme redness on that foot has really waned.
I cannot thank Mrs. Ashton enough for helping me take a big step forward with my foot issues.
Hope to see her again soon to thank her personally.
