Prayer Request for Jim Robinson Original post: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1995434/posts?page=1
Sorry about being gone all day yesterday. I was at the VA hospital where a team of doctors and cardiovascular surgeons were examining my legs and trying to come up with a treatment plan for the circulatory problem I've been fighting for the last several years. The good news is they think they can save my legs! Hurrah! And I will probably be out most of today too. I'm going back to the VA this morning for some sonogram tests. More on that on another thread later. By the way, I was really impressed with the professionalism, courtesy, concern, care and respect the VA staff gives to our veterans. These people are great! |

Sounds like a tough situation. I was once in the hospital for a month after I got diverticulitis, and it turned out the intestine had burst. I had intravenous antibiotics and feeding, which kept the infection down but didn’t cure it.
Finally they called in an antibiotics specialist, and he came up with some new variants that seemed to do the trick.
Jim has my best wishes and prayers.

I hope this has a more positive resolution than what happened to my grandfather. He too was suffering swelling and ulceration caused by poor circulation, but compounded with diabetes. After several years of sores and moderate swelling, necrotic tissue developed, turned gangrenous, and finally appointments with specialists were made. Since it was considered “high priority” at that point, he was examined by a specialist a mere 7 months after the gangrene appeared, during which time a GP had prescribed treatment. Did I mention this is Canada? I’d hate to have “low priority” gangrene (or low-priority anything in a country with socialized health-care)!
So yeah, by then the consensus was for amputation of his bad leg. We played phone tag and eventually contacted another specialist in Canada, who, over the phone stated that the leg could probably be saved - until we told him the size, extent, and physical description of the sores, and that my grandfather had deteriorated to that state over more than half a year under a specific treatment (a treatment regiment he was aghast at - he was shocked that surgical removal of of the necrotic tissue was not undertaken immediately upon its detection). They amputated at the knee.
I’m trying to tell my folks that if a time-critical health crisis emerges, they should come to America, or go international elsewhere, and pay out of pocket and via workplace insurance for rapid care. When days count, domestic health-care is only months away!
It sounds like the VA hospital is not playing games with health-care rationing, and that you are getting it nipped in the bud. I think you have a good case for optimism.
