Well - after some days of severe depression I finally had a "come ta Jesus" meeting with the Dr. After so long here and seeing very little progress on getting this wound to close I began being aggressive about what is next - even asking if we needed to call in a wound specialist. He seemed a bit caught off guard and defended all he was doing and we agreed to talk about it more today.
This morning he came in when I was coughing and hacking my way through my usual morning congestion fest when in walks Dr. Syn. I got to the point I could talk and then in my usual emotional way - I fell apart. Well - that might have been the best thing I could do. We had a long chat about the options. Right now it seems as if he is keen on sending me back to Albuquerque to a facility there - where they will focus on closing the wound. This gave me a very huge burst of hope that at least I could be near home soon. I will keep you posted.
Not much else to say - the big wedding happened last Friday night and my sister and Tom are enjoying Paris as we speak.
Well - off to a mid-day nap - be well all.
Chuck

Hey Chuck, wish I was there to give u a big hug.

So sorry that we can not be with you to help you through all these challenges. Is there any possibility that he will send you home with visiting nurses or do you still require more care than that? It's so hard to tell exactly what shape you are in just by the blog entries. I can tell you that when I was working in health care they often used pure unfiltered honey to heal wounds that would not heal any other way. They also use hyperbaric oxygen chambers to heal stubborn wounds. I know its hard to be away from the people who love you and stuck in a hospital bed. Just remember that we all love you very much and we are all sending hugs except Coco he sends licks!
