My burn is healing slowly. The
good news is that it is not infected. The
visiting nurse had the burn clinic change the dressing on the wound back to the
original methodology used when I was released from the hospital due to a lack
of progress with the last method.
It is good that I have great insurance that covers a nurse visit every
day and access to high quality health care.
Otherwise, I would be looking at a leg amputation or worse. I can’t walk, but my legs are a huge part of being
balanced in my wheelchair. Loss of limb
would be devastating. I know many others
have lost limbs due to poor health care treatment and/or infection.
I am extremely grateful for the health care resources that I have to
treat my burn, spinal cord injury/paralysis, and diabetes. Next week, for the first time in four years I
am going back to a psychologist that I saw for several years.
