Wounded

I have an owee on my heel—I don't know if that's how you spell “owee” but it's how I'm going to spell it night. Okay forget the colloquialism. What I have on my heel is a wound. I think it's safe the wound. I've had the one for a couple of weeks now. The room started out as a giant blister bigger than my thumb on my heel when the heel pressed into my foot pedal on my power chair like all day. I should've realized something was going on because I felt pain in the heel – – I've had this happen before even with the large blister. It's always sort of gone away. However when my health care people sought and she's become quite concerned as to the condition and disposition of this wound. She's calling it alone but I don't think it is a wound but I'm going to treat it as such just to be safe. My healthcare person has encouraged me emphatically to make an appointment with wound care specialists to debride The wound and should the wound need attention.

The wound clinic that I go to is at IHC. The clinic is relatively new to me since I have started utilizing IHC services since my second stenosis operation. For the most part the services been okay. Before I had gone to university medical center at the University of Utah. I work through their spinal cord injury unit which seem to be fairly professional. Dianne really didn't like them that much my question them off and on but some things they did I really did like. For instance if I even thought that I had a wound or a wound coming on and told them about the wound they almost demanded that I come in and have the wound looked at and treated if need be. I got used to this treatment as far as the immediacy of wound care. Not so if IHC. The first time I thought I had a butt sore they had me wait or going to have me wait A couple weeks to make an appointment. When next I saw my physician he was pretty concerned about the treatment that I got. The wound clinic explained the issue as I was a new patient there and had to go through the standard paperwork to be assigned a professional. They inferred if not said that next time I would go quickly through the process. My doc was fairly pissed. So last week after my health care person saw my foot I contacted the wound care people expecting them to have me come in that day if not the next but once again they said well it will be a couple weeks and assign me a date a week and a half off. I kind of think my healthcare person is kind of overreacting so I'm not that concerned. I think the wound is healing just fine on its own and my attention to it keeping stuff rubbed on it. If I had that active seeping wound I would be really upset And would possibly return to the University of Utah. I have thought about that since Dianne and I are no longer together. And Dianne was the main reason I switched to IHC. Yet at the same time Dianne has some very good points as far as why IHC might be a better provider the main being it's a lot closer to me even living in Taylorsville. But I must admit the University will and care people seem to take the job a whole lot more serious than the folks at the death Star.
