Don't apologize, Karla, it's ok to vent. I wish you the best with your foot, keep us posted on your progress! My fingers are crossed for you.

Karla,

Hello and welcome,
Try not to let anyone take care of this until you see the wound specialist. At this time, it is important to get very good blood sugar control to assist in the healing process. When blood sugars are high, it is very difficult for wounds to heal properly and in a timely manner.
I hope the wound clinic takes care of this.
