No Dice,

I am happy to report that yes, all is well. I actually feel better now and have more energy than I have in ten years. I also noticed that the swelling in my legs, especially my left leg, is way down, and that the wounds are continuing to shrink and itch like crazy, a sign of quick healing.

I went back to work on Friday, and although I'm still easing back in to normal operational load, everyone I'm running into keeps telling me my color is much better, and I am completely relaxed. Apparently, it also dramatically changed my mood for the better.

I am seeing my PCP on a monthly basis until I go back out to the Mayo in February, and am continuing to pay attention to what my body is telling me. But at least for right now, I feel fantastic. :biggrin-new:
 
Rami,
Great news that you're on the mend and feeling so much better, and a good to know that all that pain and hassle has been worth it! :applause:

Cheers

Well, I know that is what we have all been hoping and praying for................

Keep up the good work sir,

From: All of us :applause::applause::applause:

Hey guys,

I am happy to report that the ulcers on my leg are almost gone, each visit they are getting more shallow and smaller in size.

They're now about the size of a dime each, rather than a silver dollar or bigger. The skin surrounding them, and on my lower left leg overall, is greatly improved, and the swelling is down. The ulcer on my ankle closed and healed a few weeks ago. Based on this, I can verify that the surgery is still having positive effects.

Plus, I only have to go to the Wound Care Center on Tuesdays and Fridays now, rather than M-W-F. So, I've already gotten two hours of my week back.

Aside from feeling like death warmed over from this damned cold, things are going swimmingly.
 
Great news! I also have that cold....must be something in the air:biggrin-new: I guess we don't need to call "Dr. Bonesaw":dizzy:

Chris,

Thank you. In all honesty, it's the little things I am looking forward to the most. One of the biggest, once these are healed, is taking full showers again. I have not taken a full shower since the Spring of 2016, because the compression wrap I have on my left leg over the ulcers cannot get wet. They only take it off when I go there to have it changed three (now two) times a week.

Instead, I've had to dunk my head under the shower to wash my hair, and essentially follow George Carlin's hygiene tips about making sure to take care of the four key areas...armpits, a**hole, crotch, and teeth.
Talking that first full shower and breathing in that steam is going to feel spectacular. :wiggle:

Rami,
Once fully showered and shampooed we want the before and after shots. It won't be your just skin with that warm glow! :wavey:
