Good day fellow Nairalanders. I am really shy to post this but as the condition warrants I have no choice than to do for the sake of my beloved mum.
She is diabetic. She now has wound in her leg and as a diabetic patient she shouldn't have a wound. She didn't inform us perhaps thinking its a mild cut until after two weeks when she too realized it was enlarging. Knowing the implication, we took her to general hospital Epe on December 2nd Friday and she was there till yesterday when she was referred to General hospital Lagos. Countless is even the money we spent in Epe but since yesterday that we got here, we have spent up to 100k. Not to mention the 20k for a particular scan we are yet to pay. The problem here is that we don't know precisely when we will live here because of the severity of the leg. The most painful part of this is that she had already lost the right leg when she was a child due to wind. The only one she has left is the right one which is also wounded now. Please help save Maami.

[b]Thank you all for your concern. I do appreciate.

While we were in Epe general hospital, one of the nurses that dress the leg told me that the most likely thing is to amputate the leg. But I don't want to jump gun, I don't want to preempt. She is a nurse and the people that are here are orthopedics. But I too from my own observation I have seen that the most likely thing is to amputate the leg. Reason being that from the toes of the leg to the middle, she doesn't feel it. It is as if it is dead. How do I know this? There was a day a nurse came to dress it as they usually do, she didn't complain when the nurse was dressing from the toes to the middle of the foot. She didn't complain at all until when the nurse got to the upper part of the leg. She deliberately did it the second time and same thing happened. We both looked at each other and I got the message immediately. She then said that part of the leg has lost sensation. That gone. The second thing. About two days after that, another nurse came. While she was dressing it, she asked me what I observed in the leg. I told her that the leg is black. What that means, she said, is that blood is not flowing to that part again. That part has lost oxygen and when a part of the body has lost oxygen it's not functional again. I had to stop her and told her I will come to her office. There she told me that the most likely thing is to amputate the leg. She said it is better to do that earlier so that it will not be degenerating to the upper part and then the knee. So that is what happened. So I have had an idea of what will most likely happen. But then you can never say. And from experience, a friend's mother was amputated almost two years ago. When he narrated it to me, I had no choice than to pity him. The leg was cut at the knee. He told me that had it been they got money early it would have been at the ankle. And I don't want that to happen to Maami. God forbid. Olohun oni je. Now coming back to her own case, when we got here from Epe, she was admitted at the emergency. What I got to know from one of the Doctor's today (really he confided in my. They don't disclose some things to patient) is that there are two set of Doctors that will attend to her, diabetic doctors and Orthopedics. Now the diabetes doctors come everyday because of the sensitive of it. In fact they had to bring down (or manage) the sugar level significantly before orthopedics do their work. They along with others had to do the ground work (xray, scan and all that) before orthopedics will come. He continued that orthopedics only come on either Tuesdays or Thursdays. That said, my fear is that if they say that they will amputate it and tell us to go find a certain sum, is that when I will be running helter skelter. That My friend told me the money they spent on the leg, pre amputation, amputation and post amputation worth building a storey building. What will now happen to the money if they say no need for amputation? That was the reason I was strongly reluctant to post my account details delaying until when I will hear from the horse's mouth. But had to later post it after some trusted friends here said I should.

Even in the course of all these, I have jeopardized many things but there is nothing too much to loose for someone's mum to live. I have already failed one exam, the one I wrote on Friday because my mind wasn't there. I pray it is not two because I was destabilized the day I was actually called by my sister that Maami is seriously sick while I just set out to write exam. In fact, I have another exam tomorrow. I have not read nothing from the material and still doubting my going because I prefer not to be absent for an exam than to write it and fail. So it is safe to rewrite it and get either A or B than to get an F. So in all of these many things have been jeopardized but again, nothing I do is worth one tenth of what she did for me.

Once more, I thank you very much for your genuity and care.[/b]

We can't really say amount because we don't know how long we will be here. So I can't say how much we need. But since yesterday we have been here we have spent 80+ not to mention some petty expenses and some money they included in her file to be paid later.

Some of the receipts.

More receipts.

Some More receipts between yesterday and today.

bottom line is the woman needs help..and the op is not financially capable.
The year is ending, I pray you won't be in such condition.
so, as human and co-Nldrs we should offer the help we can.
