Guest N.AL.hunter Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Man I had no idea you were still going through this ordeal. Must take a lot of intestinal fortitude to put up with it. Wish you the best in healing more quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Looks like the circulatory issues are over, now it just may be a matter of getting you on the right antibiotic therapy. Wounds can be very tough because they are usually polymicrobial infections. Good luck and take whatever they tell you for as long as they tell you. If you think antibiotics are expensive, wait until you see the bill for an amputation! If you believe everything you read, perhaps it's time for you to stop reading...

Auspex Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I just cringe at the sight of your injury, but I can't imagine having to live with a wound... All I can say is you're tough as shale! Hope you've turned the corner on the healing process.

Guest Nicholas Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 How is your leg doing now Solius? Hope things have improved for ya. I'm curious as well, even my family has been asking... "How's that fossil dude's leg...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest solius symbiosus Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 About the same, maybe a little worse. This is current pic. The necrosis is still spreading, but the collor is looking better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommabetts Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 WOW, you poor dear, it doesn't look any better than it did the last time that I talked to you about it. I can't believe that it is taking so long. Have the docs told you why it is not healing? It looks like it is still quiet painful. I hope that it gets better some.

Guest solius symbiosus Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Yea, it hurts, but it is nothing that I can't deal with. The problems with the healing are from some DVTs that I suffered about 8 years ago; they messed up the circulation in my lower extremities.

Fat Boy Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Wow is all I can say. I wish you the best in your healing. I can't even imagine what you're going through or what you've been through for that matter. I'm certainly glad to see that you've kept posting on here, that is a good sign IMHO that you've the will to beat this thing. Kevin Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest solius symbiosus Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Thanks for the concern people. I am to spend a few weeks in the Rockies next summer, but I'm thinking that I might have to forgo the trip due to the injury... , but here is to hoping.

Guest Nicholas Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Rest up! Ask the dock for medical maggots, they do wonders apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest solius symbiosus Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Rest up! Ask the dock for medical maggots, they do wonders apparently. Maggots are used for removing necrotic tissue; they gave me an enzyme salve for that purpose, but all the dead stuff comes off when I change the dressing, so that is not really a problem. There has been no infection... I have been off antibiotics for two months. The problem is getting oxygenated blood to the wound to supply the cells necessary for repair.

bone digger Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Oh man, that looks like it hurts! The worst I've ever done is smash a few fingers open with my hammer and that hurt like ****. I sure hope it heals up for ya. How much does the hyperbaric treatment cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest solius symbiosus Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I don't really know, but since my wife passed, and I have a dependent child, the state is going to cover the cost of my treatment while in school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
