I don't feel much happy after hearing some awful news from my uncles. They have just came back from hong kong and they have visited my great gran. I heard that she has bruises and cuts on her leg which are not healing. She will be getting a operation very soon to chop it off as the wound has started to get all mouldy and infectious. They also said she may have her other leg cut of as well as it has started to change colour (yellowish to pale) She may soon have no leg. Note: My great gran is now about 100 years old (last may)
^Sorry to hear about your great-granny... That's sad that she has to go through such a hardship at such a time in her life, her being 100 years old..
@Gawain: I am sorry as well. This usually happens if a person is bedridden for too long, and gangrene sets in. Since you are in the UK, i guess there's nothing much u can do about it, other than give emotional support to your family and relatives. Be strong!
