. I could not see the 2 pictures in my little cell phone screen, I just knew that hole smelled like a dead thing crawled in there and the fires of hell shot up my right leg when I put weight on the area. I started using the Dr. Christopher gangrene herb in a poultice, since I did not know what I was dealing with. That herb is marshmallow root. I made a paste with the chopped herb and tea tree oil mixed with virgin olive oil that had been blessed by the Priesthood my sweetheart bears. I wrapped the toe area and taped with white medical tape. This was Saturday.
About the whole emergency room crew had to see this awful hole that I could not see. When I got the cell phone photo onto a computer screen, I saw Vesuvius in my Foot.
The first 2 pictures were taken that first Saturday. The white in the bottom is the awful stinky infection and the medical specialists called it something.
I am going to insert here, the information from the emergency room. I went in there Sunday afternoon.,
“Decubitus Ulcer: A decubitus ulcer develops when there is pressure on the skin. It’s a common problem in patients who can’t move easily. The healing time depends on the size and depth of the ulcer, and whether further damage can be avoided……
To help the ulcer heal, pay close attention to general health. Diabetics should keep the blood sugar as normal as possible. Edema can be reduced with medication. Low blood oxygen can be improved with medication to improve breathing or an oxygen tank at home.
Infection can spread from the ulcer…etc
Antibiotics: You have been given antibiotic by vein. This is done for more serious infections. The IV antibiotics are followed by pills…”
I was given this IV for 2 days. The total antibiotics were:
The #1 medicine was Ivanz drip. Also pills called Bactrim or Bactrum were prescribed. Another pill was Septra DX Generic, and Cephalexin Keflex generic. I think the foot specialist added Augmenten tablets.
At home I was doing the tea tree oil mixed with the consecrated oil every time the dressing was changed.
I went to the foot specialist next and then to the LDS Hosoital wound clinic.
Dr. Rhodes took Xrays, took photos and gave me a surgical shoe that made walking possible. Nicer medical people do not exist, I don’t think. Awesome knowledgable people greeted me in all of the offices I went to.
