Well I think its pretty bad. In May of 2022 I was at Coco Cay via Oasis. I was at South Beach at a land cabana. I was in the water less than 10 mins got stuck in a muck of dead sea weed and slime and mushy sand. My ex-wife who was with me had to help me out as I was stuck. Those events occurred on Wednesday and by Saturday afternoon I had gangrene coming out my foot. The Medical staff bungled it up also. Adding to the problem. Got off ship next day and drove directly to home in MD and then went by Ambo to hospital. That night at 7:30 on a Sunday they did surgery and debried my foot and amputated my pinky toe and part of the instep. 4 more surgeries amputation more removing more skin and tissue going up my foot towards my ankle. At that point I had 3 toes amputated and half my foot was missing. Thats when they told me they knew what it was Saltwater Necrotizing Fasciitis which they said was very aggressive. They told me they could not close the wound as there was nothing to work with. The decision was made for a Lbka (left below knee amputation) and was completed on June 23 2022. For 3 weeks they tried to get ahead of it and they could not. I spent a total of 59 days at Hopkins and another 44 days at a rehab getting stronger and practicing balance. Royal Caribbean acts like they care, they turned me over to their insurance carrier. Be careful in any water especially with dead seaweed and a mucky sea floor.
