| Hi Pat, welcome to the forums. Sorry I can't answer your question about amputation. My mom lost a toe many years ago, so i'm sure everything would be different now as far as recovery, meds, therapy, etc.
How long have you had diabetes? Are you definitely having an amputation or are you worried because of a non-healing sore?
Bless your heart, I'm sure you're very anxious.
