9/15 more on the sore

As of 9/12 my sore is almost closed at the opening, .2 CM X .3 cm w/.7 cm deep. I got an MRI and got the CD but could only see a few images but I can only see bone on one of them and the other one shows a big bulbous blob with a big depression or hole. no one will read my MRI for me and I can only get a few images from the disc they gave me. My doc said she couldn't read it. So I called and left a message that I wanted to go to her office and look at the images myself, because the MRI place has a website that the doc's office can hook into and view the images. Then I want to print off a few choice pictures to keep for me. The main problem with paraplegics is that at the ischial (or sit) bone which should be shaved down so it is not so sharp which injures the muscle. Unfortunately from the pressure of sitting on that muscle and subsequent infections makes the muscle weaker and the tensile strength less after each episode. I have had 3, this last one was not as infectious as before. So the area under the bone has weakened and probably lessened muscle structure. Flap surgery would fill the void that is there from a lack of muscle growth w/ a flap of muscle tissue from my butt. it has taken the previous sores about 3-5 years to show up again so i don't see a problem waiting for a few months! I am waiting until I get rid of the HMO I am enrolled in...it sucks. My problem is with Kaiser in 2000 and UCDavis MC, in 2005--why didn't they do this bone grinding and flap thing then? and save me a lot of grief and loss of living? Pisses me off Royally! Then the doc I saw on Tues said "oh they haven't done flaps for years! HUH? The other docs are recommending them and this one isn't? And my friend who is head of Rehab and a wound care nurse as well said of course, you should have one. THe plastic surgeon last year said, "Oh it looks like it's healing, so let's let it finish". Well less than a year later it came back and then he wants me to have a flap but won't do it here because there is no good aftercare here! Which I find out mens hypervaric oxygen treabment HBOT. While others say HBOT say BAH! I need an expert, so today I called Rancho Los Amigos in Downey to see about going there for a consultation but they have not called me back yet. I might also try to go to Santa Clara Medical Center in San Jose, my friend goes there and thinks they are very good. Choices. But first I am going to get rid of this HMO CCPN=first class idiots-money grubbing greedy bastards-and get back to Medicare as primary w/ some other supplemental plan. The doc's referral coordinator said she would help me pick the best one when I get the notice of what is being offered from PERS (Ed's retirement).
