Osteomyelitis--the bone infection that keeps on giving
I have been reading about Osteo in the bone. Looks like it might have come about after an injury to the right ischial when I was being transferred to an airline seat and they missed it and I hit the hard arm. A friend remembers seeing it happen.
Anyway, if there is some sort of infection in the blood stream, which could have been as paras sometimes have UTIs swirling around then it might settle into the injured bone and fester! The first two times I was pretty sick with the infection and had IV antibiotics. These last few years there has been some sickness but not like the first two times. The MRI I had in August, no one was competent to read and were unable to tell me that they could see an infection in the bone. The Radiolgist said that the tissue looked very healthy. But I didn't knnow to ask about the bone? Who knew? So this is why I kept having problems with pressure sores. AARGHHHHHHHH
IN SLO thre are lots of aging people and as people age they develop disAbilities. As far as I can tell some of the health care doctors are unwilling to know what is going on or to learn about what it takes to help someone solve unusual problems. What is aging but unusual problems?
