"Sanders said that he no longer has any feeling on the bottom of the foot where he previously had two toes amputated. "

If true, Dude literally gave it all for our team. None of those turf toe issues happened until he played in Texas Stadium. I remember him still returning punts, play wideout, and trying to save the day through those injuries when the team was really starting to stink it up and fall apart.

This is just sad. He will be ok but it’s still very sad. God bless the guy.

Wonder what the underlying cause is.

Hypertension exasperated by stress, high fat diet and possibly a rapidly accelerated case of diabetes.

I have no medical degree but that is what the liquor store guy told me, and he was once a hospital orderly before the alleged... missing ... drugs thing.

Nah. Only sucks if he feels sorry for himself, which I trust he won't.

This is a tiny speed bump compared to losing a child, a spouse, a livelihood. He has massive fame, massive money, friends, great job. He should have the same energy, ability to communicate, and in a short time lose nothing in function. He'll walk around just like anyone else.

I ain't feeling sorry for Deion. We got people in this Country getting slandered where they lose everything. People on the streets with nothing. AI stealing future careers. I ain't wasting a quarter-second feeling bad for Deion over this. Just a wish for successful surgery.

I was about to say this too. Poorly controlled diabetes can cause severe neuropathy and vascular issues, that can lead to amputations.

The Dan Patrick video posted earlier in this thread doesn't look like a diabetic foot infection. Diabetic feet problems to the point of amputation are absolutely the most disgusting thing you could ever imagine. The sight, and especially the smell, are awful. If there's a job in healthcare that is underpaid, it a wound care RN. You couldn't pay me enough to touch that crap. He most certainly would not have taken off his shoe if it was diabetes because someone on the set would have probably puked from the smell. I am not joking when I say I have been working in a patient's chart and you can literally see pictures of bone in the middle of a half-dollar sized piece of completely dead and necrotic tissue. Black tissue that cannot heal. It honestly looks worse than the meat on a cadaver used for anatomy lab. Also, well before before amputation is needed, the toes and foot look like they have grayscale from Game of Thrones except the skin isn't usually darkened until it's necrotic. It's almost like the opposite but you can see well-defined patches of thickened skin that look like you could just peel them off. I don't know how to describe it but take some wood glue and mix it with a bit of cornmeal and apply random nickel and quarter sized gobs. Let that dry, and that's just about what you see. Crusty, flaky, gritty, discolored in a yellowish manner, patches of skin that look like you can just reach down and peal away. Probably can't (and shouldn't) but that's what it looks like.

I am not an MD, but his feet don't look like any diabetic foot infection I have ever seen that requires amputation. It just looks mangled with his first toe looking in the wrong direction towards the others, and his 2nd toe basically being completely out of place. It's also not bilateral so seems less likely to be a result for diabetes.

I didn't see a picture of Deion's feet. But, I know what you're talking about. I have seen some really nasty diabetic foot ulcers in my day and the smell is atrocious!!

There’s different levels of pain and hurt. Is losing a leg as bad as losing a child? No. But it still hurts. These same legs that have made him millions, the legs he’s had his who life are potentially gone.

I never understood the whole “I don’t feel sorry for this guy because he’s rich”. As if money solved all problems. It erases any form of sadness or sickness.
