“I’m a tough guy, but it is tough being in a hospital bed having to look down at this stump that was my foot,” sports broadcaster, author and CFP columnist Eddie Zawadzki told me over the telephone from St. Joseph’s Health Care Center this morning.
Eddie, 53, diagnosed with the sudden onset of diabetes, having been rushed to hospital after collapsing at his home, underwent partial amputation of his foot on June 22.
Eddie did not know he was diabetic. A gash that suddenly showed up on his foot took him to his doctor’s office. Even with antibiotics, the gash only got worse. Then he suddenly collapsed.
