Ask the Doctor about using a Wound Vac. They make a huge difference in healing time and keeping the wound clean.
I had one after having surgery on My Foot that removed the bottom center 1/3 to a depth of 25mm. The entire missing area of tissue was completely healed in 6 months.
DuckDuckGo search for Wound Vac to learn more.
I’m familiar with a Wound Vac - cousin of mine ended up on one after having a significant amount of flesh removed, down to his shin bone, due to one of those “flesh eating” infections. He was very close to losing his leg from the knee down.
If the puncture needs “cleaning out” & they have to go in & remove infected flesh, then maybe a Wound Vac would be something appropriate. The puncture site was looking the best it’s looked this evening when his bandage was changed so fingers crossed he’s turning the corner. Leg swelling is down a bit ... still pretty red, but the area has not increased in size/spread.
Thanks for the suggestion - appreciate it and I’ll definitely keep it in mind. Glad you were helped and healed up fairly quickly considering how extensive the surgery was on your foot!
