Tripped; small fracture occurred. First doctor misdiagnosed it for 4.5 months; second doctor referred me to third foot specialist, who didn't suspect an infection, but opened it up to be sure. The osteomyelitis infection gushed out. He also found a quarter-size hole in my foot bone. After healing 6 operations (4 debridments, a 5th operation to install four large pins and a 6th operation to install a plate and 6 pins, which are still there), he said I can do anything I want. I cannot stand long; I cannot walk for very long; I cannot stand on my tip toes so I can't dance. I cannot run at all. Now, from lack of walking, I have asthma and have gained more weight and suffer from diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, and heart disease. Do I have a case for a lawyer? I miss doing things.
