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.

The not so good news:

After the prosthetic appointment we drove to hubby’s employer to let them know what the ortho surgeon said about him working. (he can only be on his feet 5 minutes at a time)

Sigh! Hubby has been let go from the job. They did say that whenever everything is all healed up and he has permission from the docs that he could apply again for the job.

Until then . . . well, I’ll just keep my head in THE Good News.

Have a glorious weekend, everyone.
