I had posted this in the prayer request forum...Leg wounds need healing
After the first time I was out of the pressure pack boot the swelling came back...
In an attempt to deal with it myself I wrapped leg too tight amounting to putting a tourniquet on it.
Luckily I listened to the pain and unwrapped it before having to go to the emergency room.
I went back to the wound center and had to have another pressure pack boot put on
and instructed to keep the leg TOTALLY elevated so stayed home for over a week.
It was well worth it because last week I was able to NOT had the "boot" on again.
The doc told me to schedule an appointment in two weeks which I could cancel if the last wound finally healed over.
WooHoo
As of yesterday the last and worse wound was healed over.
I still have to spend as much time as I can with my leg elevated.
Praise the Lord the wounds are finally healed.
And I now know what to do to address any future recurrences.
The only issue I am having is work is not thrilled that I have been out the bulk of the last two months
dealing with this even though they authorized Family Leave for me.
So that has been causing me some unnecesary stress.
