Thank you for the information, I love cottage cheese and red pears. It is also a good salad dressing. I also like yogurt and I know it has protein. There's a yogurt drink I like called kerr and if the liquid form. I don't know how it compares to Greek yogurt that you can drink it which is convenient. I drink ensure with MiraLax and fresh blueberries every day. It is really good and very easy. I've I frozen blueberries. Dana

One additional tip: lots of protein. I was surprised to learn that the number one source of protein is cottage cheese (at least on the list from the rehab facility…). I told my wife I needed more protein, and requested that she bring me a prime rib steak once a week. I don’t know if the steak helped, but it didn’t hurt. Over time, the wound was reduced in size to less than the size of a marble, and it seemed to take forever to eventually close up.

The wound vac. made it worse. The only way to heal it is to keep off it completely. It took me 6 months but it did heal. I would go to the wound clinic once a week. It was so slow but it worked. I still keep off it when I can, but now that it is healed I am up most of the day and I use a roho in my chair all the time. The clinic always said to eat lots of protein. I tried not to eat big meals and I did loose weight and when hungry I ate a few almonds. I hope this helps. Rose In a message dated 1/22/2014 8:29:27 P.M.

Jim, I wish I had half your willpower and strength. Regarding a wound vac, they work great if you can keep them sealed. I have a sore on my tailbone that won't heal. It's right at the top of my butt crack though, and it's just impossible to seal across the valley. All suggestions welcome. Sent from my iPad
