Yep. It's not even five in the evening but I feel accomplished. I managed to make a few dollars and cents here and there. Got George take care of twice. He actually asked for soap and water for his stoma cleaning. He can't get...

It finally happened.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (84823) • Daytona Beach, Florida 19 Jun

Well, for a while, now at least. George finally hit his rock bottom, again. He'd been so against me cleaning the site around his stoma, that it'd go days without treatment. Last night, he asked me for, and allowed me, to put on...

3M Medipore H: Help Boost Wound Healing Time

freak369 @freak369 (5112) • United States 18 Jul 16

At this point I think I have tried hundreds of tapes and sealants for wounds and haven't been able to find one that can be used on my stumps as well as upper legs. The problem is the adhesive doesn't bend all that well if you...

MEDIHONEY: A Miracle Product For Wound Care

freak369 @freak369 (5112) • United States 3 May 16

The first time someone used a honey-containing wound care product on me it was back in 2008 / 2009 when I had a horrible pressure ulcer on my tailbone. Fast forward to 2016 and Derma Sciences has brought honey to the forefront of...

Well I have been promising more of an update as I have one. I was waiting until after the visit today at the Wound Healing Center, so I could let everyone know what is going on. All I can say is in the 3-4 weeks that I have been...

I had an appendectomy on the 16th and yesterday saw the doc for a post-op. The staples came out--I had to have a regular incision because of all the other scar tissue and I needed an umbilical hernia repaired--and the incision is...

A Good Case for Universal Healthcare

cendartree @cendartree (21) 29 Jul 08

I draw a modest income with my media production business, but being self-employed makes health insurance damn near impossible to afford. Hell, with the way self-employment taxes are set up, we're lucky to be able to pay...

Army to Shoot Live Pigs to Save Wounded Soldiers' Lives

sedel1027 @sedel1027 (17846) • Cupertino, California 18 Jul 08

All I can say is WTF?!? I understand the troops need to have wound training, but to shoot live, innocent, animals just to get wound care training that is ridiculous. Someone needs to do a major overhaul over what the armed...

Wound Care

bestisyettocome @bestisyettocome (1531) • United States 18 Jan 07

Do they still use maggots to clean debris off of wounds? I seen this one time. It was quite revolting. I haven't heard of it for a while, so hence the question. I seen them used on a case of gangrene.
