Good Morning All..Aunt K had a question that she would like answered. If any of you ever have a question feel free to ask. I forget that we have been through this and have learned a lot.
The question is "why the open wound?"
WWOM also has rheumotiod arthristis for this she takes Prednisone which is a steriod that helps with the inflammation. She has to take this because she is allergic to sulfur and most arthrisitis medicines are sulfur based. The Prednisone works well but one of the side effects is that it has made her skin thin and fragile.
This was a huge concern for the Doctor, and the first time he did sew her up. But after a week it came apart and she had to have a second surgery. So this go round he just left her open to avoid the mess we had the first time. We did ask about the possibilities of her stopping the Prednisone but at this point the damage has been done so she might as well keep the pain from the arthristis in check.
I hope this answered your question, if anyone ever has a question please let me know either by a comment on the blog or feel free to email me at chantillybender@msn.com
Let's pray for another good day!
