Frostbite update

Got some good news from a friend who has been liaising with his Dr specialist in frostbite.  Thanks mate for the help.  Some excerpts.

"He said that it's going well.  The toe seems like mine after the freezing of 2006."

"Slowly the dead skin will come off and there will be new skin under.  Likely the same will happen to the nail."

"The doctor says that the frostbite did not affect the bone." 
-that's what I like to hear!

"You must not pull the skin and cause bleeding.  When the skin comes off, cut only the dead skin with a scissors or ask a doctor to do it.
You have to have patience, the death skin will come off alone."  
-My bad, just wanted to have a nicer looking toe ;-)

Some good news for now.  I revisit my local specialist on 25 Nov and hopefully it is just a simple tick and go.
