PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- One look at Paul Gaylord's hands shows why the plague is referred to as "Black Death."
The central Oregon man who contracted a rare case of the plague last month after being bitten a stray cat has seen his once-strong hands darkened to the color of charcoal.
Doctors may be able to save a portion of his fingers. The 59-year-old man makes his living as a welder.
He faces a difficult recovery now that he's out of intensive care. His family is trying to raise money to get him into a new house, because the manufactured home he was living in has a leaky roof, a moldy bathroom and mice. Those are dangerous living conditions for a man with a weakened immune system.
