Vibes meeded for a friend......

This past Saturday the intercom rang, the person calling was a friend's mother. (Friend lives 2 floors below me). Mom couldn't get my friend on either the land line or her cell phone. I buzzed Mom in and met her at the apartment door. Two neighbors also were helping her bang on the door. We called the maintenance man, who found that the office did not have a key to get into the apartment. The maintenance man had gone out into the yard and saw all the lights were on, her purse was on the floor and the cat was running around crazy. The maintenance man drilled out the deadbolt. My friend was found on her bedroom floor semi-conscious. Medics came & took her to the hospital. When I saw her on the floor I saw that her foot was black.

Updates from her family culminated with today's fact, she had her leg amputated above the knee. She is fighting an infection throughout her body, low potassium levels, high sugar levels (she has never been diagnosed as a diabetic, it is thought to be trauma induced diabetes), and a wound that is the flesh eating type. She is on a respirator at this point.

She is only 58. Minimally she had laid there for 24 hours.
