More on the sore saga

A quick update: I went to see Dr. Holland 8/4 and he said my labs look good and I should keep taking it for 4 more weeks. (That makes 8 weeks). I asked about an MRI and he said that it wouldn't show any changes because of the bone's condition. It would take a while for the bone to recover. My sister Margaret and Ed came with me. The doctor said he wanted to see the wound so we were prepared w/supplies to reconnect the wound vac. However, the office only has about 32" high exam tables and the extra personnel in the office had all left for lunch! What is wrong with this picture? So I leaned over so he could look at the outside of the wound. It is looking pretty good. the depth has gone from 7 cm to 6, to 5.5 in just a few weeks so that is good.

On Sat I noticed an announcement in the newspaper that Cuesta Medical Group in SLO had just hired a new Doc who is a wound care specialist as well as hyperbaric! So I am going to see him today (Fri). Dr. Holland said it would be a good idea. A local pharmaacy has been trying to set it up to have hyperbaric treatment here so this may be connected. I will ask him today.

What irks me is that My own doctor didn't notify me of the new doc and she is in Cuesta Medical group in Los Osos! What is wrong with this picture?!!? Anyway things are looking up!
