Llama,

Gosh, that’s frustrating! What is your next step? Did they recommend anything to you?

You definitely should see someone who specializes in wound care. My mother’s home health nurse was excellent! She specialized in wound care. She ordered specific ointment which was paid for by Medicare. It seems like she ordered two different types.

I wish that I could remember the names of the products. Mom died several years ago and I can’t remember the name of the meds that she ordered. I think mom had to leave it on for an extended period of time.

Feeling alone. Attempts to share news (good points & also concerns) diminished & shut down. Again.. why did I bother?

Llama,
Perhaps you can get your primary care physician to write a script “ to be evaluated and treated at the wound care clinic “. Maybe that would work .

So the hospital's written instructions were flawed! They instructed me to go to the Wound Care Clinic. I called the clinic to schedule an appointment today and was told "We only see people with an open, oozing wound." SMH.

HH,

Listening to a kitten purr is so very sweet! I have always been a cat person. I hate that I am horribly allergic to cats, dogs, and many other animals and things.

Way, My daughter just got a little kitten. I’ve never been a cat lover until now. At night this sweet kitty just wants to curl up on my chest and purr.. it’s so peaceful and comforting to listen to her. I’m in love.

Way: Thank you. I know. The problem is in bed, but have the recommended 3" gel mattress topper coming.

Thank you, too, golden and Alva. Bad migraine starting. God is mad at me. I strongly advocated for myself, Alva. They almost saw the not so nice side of Ll.

Way,

Cats are curious creatures!

They just said on the news that the guy didn’t die but is in grave condition.

It’s scary to think about bullets going through the window and killing somebody.

I don’t own a gun. I have friends who are single and have bought guns to protect themselves. They go to target practice on a regular basis.

The EMTs would tell me that sometimes they were afraid to enter homes in fear of being shot. Sad, isn’t it?

Maybe it is my Kitty . She’s been mischievous lately which is odd for her . She’s usually pretty timid and lazy .
I think it’s because I’ve been purging and reorganizing things . She’s nosey about what’s going on .

Need, crime is bad in a lot of places that did not used to have a lot

Geeeeez! Breaking news just now on television about a deadly shooting on the crescent city connection bridge. Traffic is backed up while NOPD investigates. The shootings in the streets are frightening.

Crime is out of hand. A carjacking bill is up for debate where the sentencing will increase from a two year jail sentence to a five year sentence. Both parties are supporting this bill.

I hope our new governor can do something about our crime. He has a background in law enforcement. We’ll see.

The Whoops kitty looks like Way’s kitty. Cats are so cool but not the Whoops cat! 😁

Oh, River.

I certainly hope that you will find relief soon. When our feet hurt, everything hurts!

I am able to access my profile page. Guess some Gods are looking over me as I am going mildly crazy with 3 more weeks until I get the pin out of my foot. I was starting to at least be more pain free but when I did a bit more aching set in so back to elevating it. Hope you guys get back to your profiles soon.

I'm not having connectivity problems on my laptop or on my Verizon cell phone. I'm wondering if it has to do with the widespread issues AT&T has been having today?

Llama , I’d like to add to not be sitting on your butt too long . Take rests laying on your sides during the day too . Get the pressure off the area .

Llama:
I hate pressure sores. For this I say followup followup and followup and do not ignore, don't let anyone else ignore.
You all know the by now boring story of how much my bro wished to die rather than facing down the inevitabilies of his probable Lewy's diagnosis, and that he GOT that wish, and I am more and more grateful for that as the years pass and I know what his losses now would be.
BUT he died of sepsis and that of a TINY non healing wound on his shin that he mentioned to no one. What did he use? Triple antibiotic ointment, his usual getting out and walking. But it went to sepsis and MRSA, resistant to all help. One week in hospital. One back home on hospice and he was gone.
This was what he wanted.
But you DON'T. Please watch this and don't ignore as they can QUICKLY go south, causing loss of tissue much in the way a cat abscess does, silently, down under the skin, going toward the bone.
Please take good care of yourself.

Barb, what great news about hubby!

Llama ,
Glad they recommend wound care clinic . Best idea . The mattress topper sounds great too . They also have gel pads you can buy for your chair during the day .

Llama - so glad you got some good advice at the ER and that it isn't as bad as you thought - and - that you were able to sleep!

Hi Llama, I hope that advice works to solve your problem. A 3" gel mattress topper sounds pretty darn cushy and nice. Getting specialized wound care sounds good to ensure you recover fully. I've never experienced lingering pressure wounds or cellulitis, etc., but I know skin breakdown can be stubborn to treat. Feel better and heal up fast.

Send, Need, Golden, Way and Beatty: Thank you. I was able to sleep. We were seen quickly at the hospital and they said it wasn't that bad (looked like it to us). Continue A & D ointment, wear thicker bandage, see wound care clinic and add 3" gel topper to mattress.
