Hubby’s toe is healing . . . not at a full-on-stampede rapid rate, but it is healing. We go to the wound clinic at the hospital twice a week for dressing changes allowing the nurses and techs to check up on MY dressing changes over the week. They take pictures for comparison – size of the wound, etc.

Today we changed tactics a bit – again – to use a different type of healing solution. The prescription gel was not doing what they had hoped. The tech kept saying – that yellow stuff should be going away with this – don’t know why it isn’t.

Today it was decided that MAYBE that is NOT infection . . . but the tendon on his toe. Tendons need to be kept moist – the prescription was drying it out – thus a change. Okie dokie – we can do that.

Then off to the prosthetic guy for a mold of hubbymoose’s foot and leg – a special boot will be manufactured to help heal/get ahead of the Charcot’s Foot problem I talked about earlier. I will put pictures up in the next post of that process.
