My foot is HUGE with swelling and the wound has gotten bigger it is really slow healing. Feeling like 2 steps forward and 5 steps back. 🙁

Uggg I got another infection and the wound has opened up quite a bit….  🙁 bad news!

Top pictures is of my ankle and then  on the bottom is WOW that was a pretty big line that was down in my vein in my arm…. kinda creepy!!

Another picture update:

New pictures taken today of the healing progress, we are now just over a month after the infection surgery. First pictures is the larger wound on the outside of my ankle and the second picture is the smaller wound on the inside of my ankle. The wound VACC has been removed from the smaller wound…

For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!!- 2 Corinthians 4:17 When you start to feel down, take a few minutes and just remember all the times God has helped you, and your hope will rise higher.…

So today has been a whole ball of frustrations. My day starts with phone calls to Doctors, Pharmacy, and Visiting Nurse. As I am on the phone getting more and more frustrated because I am being told that I don’t have any more approved visits from my insurance for the Home Nurse. What???? I am…

Even more progress on the healing. Pics are the smaller wound inside of my ankle and the larger wound that is on the outside of my ankle. Progressing well! The yellow “stuff’ inside the wound the doctor says is just fatty tissue… weird to me buuuuut as long as it is not infection that is…

The healing on my wound is amazing how much has filled in only 18 days. Not the greatest of pics though sorry but you can get a pretty good idea at the difference.

They have the results are in and the infection is officially been determined to be Staph. Uggg, that is not good news but the bright side is that it is not MRSA the resistant strain of Staph. Pics of the PICC Line in my arm and my meds.
