Hi Lori,

Do you use the Talking Book Program? I was 'laid-up' with my leg awhile and being able to 'read' sure was helpful. Hope the vac gets that would cleared-up soon for you.

With Love,

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.
