Really Need Some Nestie Dust Please

hannikan

I kind of feel like a broken record and I'm sorry about that but will everyone please think of us? My husband's pressure sore keeps coming back. It will heal and we'll think he can be up and around and then it will come back. It's scary because it's on the same general area that he had skin flap surgery 6 years ago. They cannot do that surgery again in the same place/with the same skin and tissue. It's very small but it keeps opening up. And this time, it's actually been hurting him, which is strange because of course he has little sensation below the waist. It's not been infected yet (which is when they get scary) and we've been treating it the way they taught us to when he had the others. But it's obviously not been effective enough so we need a doctor to examine it. After a certain point, the home care nursing ran out on our insurance so I had to become the nurse and it is this way now because we don't have full coverage. Right now we only have coverage for hospitalization. His mother has offered to cover what it costs to see a wound care specialist but that will have to wait until after the holiday. Happy New Year to us. We have a hospital bed at home that he sleeps on that specially for preventing pressure sores that he has slept on since he had the others 6-7 years ago. Please pray, send Nestie dust and good vibes that he won't need surgery again because they probably would be limited in how much they could do and pressure sores can be deadly. Thanks!

I'll continue to think of you and Drew. I'm so sorry his pressure sore keeps coming back. It must be so stressful. Didn't this first start during the summer?

I really hope 2012 treats the both of you a lot better than this year has. I've admired your positive outlook thus far.

It did, yes. It started in August and it healed up within a few weeks and then in came back, healed up and has come back again in the same spot. They do take a long time to heal. We were only here a month before it started.

Thinking of you and Drew sending lots of healing dust, Hannah. I'm really hoping that 2012 will be a much better year for you.

Ditto the stress thing. That's got to be tough to deal with. Is it good in a way that you're home to take care of him since you don't have the nursing care (of course, you might have the nursing care if you had regular insurance). Anyway, I definitely hope this goes away and stays away.

hannikan

Yeah, if we had medical coverage we would get a set # of home nurses visits. So it would tide us over for awhile. We had them for a few months before they ran out. Hopefully, this won't be something that goes on for 2 years like the other sores did.

That sucks..I pray things get better for you soon...

Oh, Hannah, I'm so sorry.  You guys have been having such a rough time lately.  Sending so many good thoughts your way that things start turning around for you in a big way in 2012.  I hope Drew heals up (and stays healed) really, really soon.

Mrs.BoomBoom

Hope it heals up soon.

Oh, Hannah.  I am so sorry to hear this.  I hope that Drew is able to heal quickly.  I know the two of you have been through so much together, and I really wish the very best for you.  Please let me know if there is anything I can do. 

Huge hugs to you and Drew and I am sending the most positive healing thoughts your way.
