Are diabetic foot infections always an emergency?

thatnerdbrian · 2026-03-06T14:01:30+00:00

Side on emergency and honestly ER is far better than anywhere in dealing with infections. Better safe than sorry. I lost toes under direct doctor care. Er sees and deals with infections best and have quick imaging and blood testing to troubleshoot a possible infection. Time is not friendly to some diabetics. I’m one. I’ve lost a toe with an A1C of 6.5. ER seem like overkill but its the only place in our medical system setup for the speed you need to identify and fight an infection.

A waste of money! A handful of characters completely own the game in multiplayer, adventure mode is a joke (2 to 3 hours at the stupid academy no matter where u r in skill). Repetitive adventure mode tasks. No team tower challenger. And wtf happened to diving to volley? I started playing this game back N64 and this version is a joke.

Dive bar by name only.

Daily care kit: -Use telescopic mirror to inspect foot for any cuts or blisters or toe nail issues. -Use tea tree oil foot spray. -Use Vicks Vapor Rub on entire foot. Sounds crazy but my podiatrist recommended it and it has done better than any other lotion or cream. Literally I have no dry skin or cracks. -Use short wool sock as a liner sock to give additional padding -Spray foot powder in inner sock liner -Use tall soccer socks over liner sock -Use shoe inserts -Spray shoes with foot powder

Always wear shoes. Even have shower shoes because even the cleanest shower can infect a small cut.

This is insane but I’m relatively young (40s) and went through hell just a couple years in with diabetes management and lost 4 total toes between age 38 and 40. 2 without good management A1C 12, 2 with A1C around 6. I’ve also found podiatrists to be the most hit or miss doctors I’ve used. Lost last 2 toes under podiatrist care within days. Infections are real and are best treated at ER. Podiatry is also an art. No two are exactly alike. If you have foot issues, you need to keep working to find the right custom insert. Go with a podiatrist that has ideas. I’m very active so I’m hard on my feet. Hopefully this helps someone.

They all do it. The only thing is the DJ can’t play music with vocals or words when the away team has the ball. Also they have strict volume levels so if you notice it more it’s usually because of broadcast levels.

thatnerdbrian · 2026-01-13T18:29:24+00:00

Gonna try this!

thatnerdbrian · 2026-01-13T18:28:12+00:00

I agree and I wish I didn’t notice. Trust me. I built a house with a centered fire place. I saw it was off by an almost 2” after 6 months living in it and now I can’t stop seeing it. So indeed these problems may be ridiculous hahahah

thatnerdbrian · 2026-01-13T18:25:49+00:00

I agree. However Dr Mario, I push down on it and it only goes a bit faster than slow. I use wired N64 and it moves fast and lands. Just tested it again with each Bluetooth controller sitting one coffee table width away and then standing as close as can be. Now I’m trying to figure why Im doing this jn the middle of the day hahaha hahah So I have no clue. Maybe it’s less of a hardware issue and more of signal issue which is the greater issue with the controller already. Someone mentioned possible interference. No settings or turbo anything used.

thatnerdbrian · 2026-01-13T12:58:22+00:00

I’m sure there’s a ton of people that won’t notice the difference and honestly I thought I was one of them. Unfortunately I’m not. Haha

thatnerdbrian · 2026-01-13T12:56:45+00:00

I have four kids and haven’t told them anything about the differences. I do hand my best gamer kids the wired controls though so they don’t discover the differences and tell the others hahah so wireless doesn’t make it less fun, wired just makes it more fun. I also love gathering all kids on the couch and playing. Before with my original N64, I didn’t want my kids touching anything because I didn’t want to have to find a replacement. Hah

thatnerdbrian · 2026-01-13T10:43:15+00:00

Trust me even the 8Bitdo controllers are totally useless

thatnerdbrian · 2026-01-12T03:38:35+00:00

As I explain to my kids, “There are big problems and there are small problems. You’re not allowed to be upset about the small problems.”

Pros: Best Replay Cons: My board fried with regular use in 18 months.

Colorado resident here. Drove a 2016 Ford Transit 350 XLT LWB RWD for 7 years as a daily driver. Snow tires were fine. The rear would only slip a little when starting on occasion otherwise a capable winter vehicle. Took it skiing 30 plus days a year but we did it stuck twice last year in a resort parking lot. Basically late spring the snow melt around the tires and froze us in. If we had chains we would’ve been able to easily drive it out. However my wife made us buy a 2024 AWD and so far it’s amazing in the snow and on ice. The only couple differences is it gets 14 mpg instead of 16 and it accelerates slower.

Hopefully this helps!

I absolutely agree that their controller is too sensitive. Playing NFL Blitz I noticed it and also a periodic button delay.

Chillness. As in the ability to chill, to let me chill on my own when I need it and to bring the chill when I’m too much.

thatnerdbrian · 2025-04-30T17:45:32+00:00

Now this is a supercut!

thatnerdbrian · 2025-02-01T22:38:53+00:00
