Re: [QUAD-L] debreedment surgery

[Stacy Harim]

Sorry about your sores guys.  Lori, I'm glad your wound vac is working out for you.  I am fighting these damn ones on my feet.  I went to the podiatrist today and he is sending me for a doppler on my legs.  He is concerned I am not getting blood flow to my feet because he can't feel it although when he pushes on them they turn pink, so he isn't sure.  He mentioned something about some sort of boot thing he can put on the and it gets changed once a week.  He didn't have any in the office, but when I go back to him after the doppler, we are going to give that a whirl.  Great I say so I can actually get ready in an hour instead of two fighting with these bandages. I would call home health, but they take forever and would be doing the same thing I am doing with the sores as far as dressing them.  I just follow doctors orders.  I feel a little bit better today after my rant and some sleep, but still a bit sad.  I have no idea what has come over me.  Stacy   "People who hate you do not win unless you hate them.

Off to bed for how long now .............
