I had an appointment with Dr. Thompson – my wound care doctor yesterday. It was an excellent appointment. The wound on the back of my neck is starting to scab over. This is good news. Dr. Thompson said I am probably 3 weeks out from being healed. This is the best news this week. She…
I thought I would share a bit of a health update. I saw my endocrinologist this week to do a diabetes check-in. I should start by saying the wound is still playing havoc with the sugar levels. This has been so much fun. My sugar levels are not dropping enough overnight. As a result, I…
I have not posted a health update in a while. I thought I should… Today, the wound is about 80% healed which is good news. It has shrunk dramatically. The hard part is wounds for diabetics are slow to heal. The last 20% can take the longest. The nurses at the community care centre have…

Since I posted yesterday’s update a couple of things have changed. I talked to the Diabetic Clinic finally and they agreed that the Sugar Level Ping Pong Ball that I dealt with last weekend was due to me coming off antibiotics. The infection is gone and as a result, my sugar levels are headed back…
I thought I would drop in a health update. Generally, things are not going that bad but there have been some bumps in the road. Dr. Thompson; my wound doctor; has 100% taken me off the antibiotics. That happened last Thursday. The wound is healing – she thinks it will probably take another 4 to…
