Raisin Anybody My father is in the hospital, and the man in the room with him has gangrene on one of his feet. Now, the first time I saw him, he had 5 toes, two of which were black as coal. He is a little "off" as you say, very strange homeless man who claims he is a Vietnam vet... Now, he has 4 toes, instead of 5. Wanna know why? Supposedly the cleaning lady ran over his foot with some cart or something when he was sitting up in bed with his feel on the floor. Yes, and so as you can guess, one of his toes in the process fell off (it was severed.) So he picked it up (after shouting in pain) "Look, you broke off my toe," and waves the shriveled black toe at her. The doctor comes in later, whips out a pair of scissors, and trims the rest of it off. He says "Just because I have gangrene does not mean I don't have feeling. Butcher." This man is nuts. Let me tell you. He takes his entire leg (he must be about 50 btw) and lifts it above his head and shouts, "I have raisin toes!! SEE!!!" And waves his foot about. Then, he will go into the 40 minute discussion on how gangrene toes shrivel and go black, just like raisins. *barf laugh barf* Sunmaid anybody? 9:10:12 PM    comment []
