RB, just wondering, how much longer do you have to keep that vacuum dressing on? I know that all healing takes a while, but I'm sure you would like to get back to normal again.

You want it in my doctors technical terminology? Until it's healed. The wound started off bigger than a baseball. Now it's a little bigger than a golf ball. Yep, diabetes is nothing to take lightly. Many people with type 2 think they're safe, that they won't have the kind of problems type 1 diabetics have and they can keep it under control with pills. Don't you believe it! I'm what's called type 2 severe. I'm a double amputee. I'm have to take pills AND two types of insulin every day. Ten units of Novolog insulin before meals and one hundred units of Lantus insulin before bed. Does that sound like no major problem? I have more problems than that. I have severe permanent nerve damage from the diabetes and childhood spinal meningitis. My mother suffered from hepatitis C since childhood and while I've never tested positive for it I'm labelled as a potential carrier. For those reasons I can't give blood or plasma and I can't be an organ donor though I don't know why anybody would want any of mine anyway. I could go on but I don't want to bore anybody.
