Dammit. im doing everything the drs are telling me to do. Taking shitloads of meds and staying off my feet, keeping my legs propped up and shit. Watching what i eat, etc. Yet last nite around 6 im sitting here discussing some stuff with a collegue and all of a sudden my chest starts hurting like a mofo and its still hurting some. Im not one to panic when it happens. Ive had chest pains off and on all my life, but the drs told me that I have had at least one heart attac in the last 10 years and didnt even know it. I just didnt feel like going to the ER and having them tell me it was something else last nite.. lol And im still here and kicking this morning so it couldnt have been that bad, right?? lol Anyway, also went to the wound care center last Wednesday and they changed the way the wound dressing is dressed, but other than that they told me tht it seems to be progressing well, and is slowly healing. The dr did say that he wants me to see the plastic surgeon again soon to maybe start skin grafts. He said other wise it will take 6-12 months or even more for the wound tofill in and heal via the wound vac that im on now. He said not only will it be lonig and painful, but the fact is my insurance company might even start balking at payments after that long a therapy. So.... skin grafts are in my near future. Luckily as a fat guy I have plenty of extra skin to gvo around lmao Just not looking forward to more pain. By the way, that new dr woujldnt give me any more pain meds last week. I guess he thinks im getting better, which i am. But sometimes in the middle of the night I still wake up screaming in pain and agony and have to make do with tylenols or aleves, which sometimes work and sometimes dont
