Son was Bitten
Hiya Always Missin PDC,
He thinks it was some type of Mosquito but as he was in the Med at various places, Spain, Portugal and Gibraltar he is not sure where he was when he was bitten and it lay dormant in his leg until the ship got back to UK before something triggered off the bite and caused Craig to end up with Large Cell Systemic Vasculitis which killed off his immune system and made all his blood cells enlarge. As the arteries are so small in you fingers and toes, the blood could not get through to the extremities and unfortunately his left foot has died and mummified and he will soon lose all his toes and part of the forefoot. It just goes to show that these things can happen to even the healthiest of people as Craig was the fittest in our family until this happened, a very fit sportsman and now he is in a wheelchair waiting for an operation to amputate the dead part of his foot. He has kept a very good attitude all through this devastating illness and we know that by helping each other as a family, he will get over this and soon be on the road to recovery again.
Thnks for your kind words. The DrydenClan
