A tiny “nick” on her ankle became a severely infected chronic wound
Joy remembers getting a “tiny nick” on her left ankle, but because of her type 2 diabetes and circulation issues that blocked blood flow to her legs, the “nick” developed into a terribly painful and severely infected wound.

Now, she’s making plans to return to her hobby of country line dancing. Read
