More trouble -- blech!
Well, crap! Went to see my PCP. He didn't like the looks of the blister, did a culture and decided the nurse needs to come back every other day to change the dressing. The blister keeps draining lots o' gunk, but thankfully no infection. The weird thing is is that now my stump seems to be 3 times bigger than it was. I bet I couldn't get the shrinker on if I tried. And my stump even feels heavier. Also, my spinal x-rays came back and I have arthritis in most of my lumbar region. I only mention this because arthritis just goes so well with degenerative disc disease. I'm in a lot of pain and pretty depressed about this blister and the fact that I can't wear my leg. I wonder if I will ever be able to wear it. Whoa! Somebody call the whaaambulance. LOL
