How Long To Suffer With Poor Leg Circulation, Non-functional Kidneys And Diabetic Ulcer In Toe?

my grandmother was in hospital last week. they found out she had poor circulation in both lower legs. one kidney is completely gone, the other one is only working about half. they couldn t run test with dye, scared of sending her into kidney failure or worse. so they couldn t see where the blockages where in her legs. she has a diabetic ulcer on her right big toe. since running antibiotics its under control. they where going to cut her feet off last week. but they decided her best option was to go home with a pic in her arm. home healthcare come and run antibiotics. told her eventually she would most likely loose her feet, maybe legs. before she left hospital they did a 3d bone scan. it came back the dried gangrene that was in her toe, was also in her bone. she diabetic. feeling week now. wasn t before hospital visit. so basically how long does she have to suffer?
