Thank you all very much for your prayers. Didn’t learn a whole lot test-wise today. Still no results from the CT scan and they didn’t run any new tests today. I was seen by a wound specialist and she’s prescribed a new dressing. It’s a silver sol (something?) gel which is applied like “icing on a cake” and then covered with a calcium alginate dressing with a gauze dressing to finish it off. This is supposed to chemically dissolve and remove the dead skin so new skin can grow and also to absorb the fluids that are leaking. Monday I go to nuclear medicine for a lymphoscintogram scan and they’ll change my dressings. Tuesday we try to schedule a meeting with a home care nurse, to change the dressings, and do whatever else needs doing on a daily basis. My right leg is looking better. After most of the dead skin and crusty yucky stuff has been scrubbed away, we see just two open ulcers remaining and hopefully, the new dressing will help heal those.
God bless you all for your continuing prayers and comforting words. FReepers are the geatest!
I hope that you feel better soon.
Lord, tonight we come asking that the new dressings will be the healing balm that is needed for Jim's legs. We praise you, Mighty God, for you are the One who holds all healing in your hands. Thank you for what you will do for our Brother. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Amen to your Prayer, Dear Nan!
Thanks for the update, Jim.
Prayers will continue.
FAther, please guide the medical team in making the correct diagnosis and in prescribing the best treatment. We pray in Jesus Name. Amen.
Get some rest, Jim.

Ok Dr. Robinson - that’s enough;)

Continued prayer for your health.
