"Diabetes
When wounds develop in people with diabetes, their chronically elevated levels of blood sugar incapacitate the wound healing response. And not only can diabetes interfere with the healing process, it can also cause the development of new wounds. Long-term diabetics commonly develop nerve damage in their legs. This damage to the nerves reduces their protective capacity and increases the likelihood of new wound development. It also increases the risk that the body will not recognize new wounds when they develop."
(forgive me for not finding the site to cite) but there it is - why my feet have scars that don't heal.
I think I have a kidney infection. I'll ask the doctor tomorrow. Need to make a dentist appointment too, i think I have an abscessed tooth.
Oh, and I lost my job due to government budget cuts.
Lovin' life.
