Hes taking vitamin D to help heal the bone.Vitamin C can help wounds heal faster.
I am not sure perhaps we should ask the specialist. I am making a list of questions. I will add this to it.Extra prayers, Linda. Could his body be rejecting the plate, thus not healing? Hope they figure it out soon.
Thank-you Dear.Oh wow. That is just too much for one family. All I can say is from my own experiences it seems like time crawls when things are rough and fly by too fast when things are good. But this bad time WILL pass and things WILL get better. Hang in there and try to take care of yourself too. I know. That's easy to say but hard to do. I'm giving you the advice people gave me over the past year when my mom was so sick and I had to have a hip replacement in the middle of everything horrible that was happening. I did not take care of myself and I paid for it. So please, try to take a couple minutes a day, look out a window and try to meditate or something so you feel a few minutes of peace enter your soul.
Sorry, sounded pretty preachy there but I mean it all in the most heartfelt way.
Yes - maybe the hardware is irritating his wound. I hope it gets better soonIt is the foot and lower leg. He broke 2 bones and it is where they put the plate in. Does that make sense?
He's not diabetic, is he?I am not sure perhaps we should ask the specialist. I am making a list of questions. I will add this to it.
Not that we are aware of. His company nurse does his A1C every 3 months and will be drawing his blood again on Monday.He's not diabetic, is he?
(Hi Pets! Good to see you! )
Oh honey! I'm so sorry to hear this - I was so hoping you're update was a good one. I'll keep you all in my prayers. Much love coming your way!They have decided not to put it in a cast. The wound is not healing . They will be sending him to see a wound specialist.
Prayers, positive vibes and guidance to the wound specialist.The Wound specialist appt. has been set for Monday morning.(6-29) Could use healing vibes and prayers. I think Iam more nervous than him.
