Thank you all very much.
They sent me home with a big grocery bag full of pills and stuff that we’ve got to figure out how and when to use. They’re going to send a home care nurse out every other day to check on me and change the honey dressing. Chris will change the outer dressing about twice a day due to the water leakage. They don’t know what to do about that yet. I probably leak about a quart a day through the ulcer. And they’re going to schedule me for the wound specialist clinic for twice a week treatments. She said she successfully treated a very similar case to mine with nitroglycerin and she would like to try that with me. I thank God for this lady. If she had not spoken up when she did, my leg would’ve been gone the other day. She’s an answer to our prayers. Got a long ways to go to cure this thing, though. The ulcer which had not changed in two years is suddenly twice the size it was just two months ago and goes all the way to the bone. Took a pain pill last night and got a full night’s sleep. It’s great to be home!!
Thanks again for all your prayers and cyber hugs. It helps tremendously.
God bless,
Jim
