If you read my previous post about my dad, then my update now will make sense to you. But if you haven't seen it, I will just copy and paste a little bit of what I said so you don't need to go find it yourself. "Dad sees a company called "Silver Chain." Where nurses can come out to you or you go see them depending what is wrong. This nurse (by the way my dad doesn't always see the same nurse every time)....put something on my dad's foot that should NOT have been on there. I don't know the medical term but it's this type of tape that shouldn't go on a diabetic's skin because it can make the skin deteriorate." ^^^^My dad got told by a nurse that he had the wrong tape on his foot and that the progress of his foot would go backwards and that made him stress out. He was worried all night last night thinking he would be told something negative at his next appointment. My dad saw someone today who is from Wound Care. My dad told her that his foot was wrapped with the wrong tape and she looked at him weird and said "Who told you that?" My dad explained that the last nurse he saw told him. She sighed and shook her head and told him that everything is ok! Because this tape had been used on his foot for the entire time he was in hospital. So basically why I'm still angry is because this nurse told my dad that he had the wrong tape on and that it would make his progress go backwards. But he got told today that there was no need to worry. This nurse who told my dad a few days ago was wrong. Which is good! Because we don't want his foot to go backwards but she was wrong to tell him something like that and make him worry like that. She was still incorrect about the tape anyway. This nurse from Wound Card had a big smile on her face when she saw my dad's foot. She said that it is looking much better! Whew! So far, so good.
