Stubborn little booger

Still haven't graduated from wound care yet. Yeah, really. Last week they'd hoped that this week would be THE week but nope. The fussy area is the width of a finger and not particularly deep but even with debridement and continuing to add in collagen and silver packing every other day isn't getting it to close completely.

So now we're going old school with something developed during WWI - something called Dakin's solution on a wet to dry application being changed twice daily. They were wondering if there was a stitch in the way but couldn't find anything so the next assumption is that there's some sort of bacterial issue keeping it from healing. I wouldn't be surprised if that short course of Cipro didn't do enough.

I feel bad having Emily help me with this. I really hope it works and we don't have to do it for more than a week. Next checkup is my weekly one next Monday.

I knew not to get my hopes up but I didn't expect this. Tired and depressed.
