getting online good. I may be back in the bed in a minute! My legs are getting worse with these treatments they are doing trying to prevent surgery and the pain is almost unbearable. I stayed awake all night long. I fianlly got up and got some lunch because of the amount of meds I am taking right now. Not to sure it is going to stay down. I think the fever is what is really getting the best of me. If I told you what the topical meds are doing to my legs it would make you sick! They are trying to keep from having to scrape the top several layers off of my legs and the topical meds are doing that. It hurts so bad that it makes me scream in pain when the bandages touch my legs. I would cry awhile and pray awhile and get up and try to walk awhile all night. The only thing that I have found that taste good is V-8 juice and I probably should not be drinking it right now. I did not get the sodium free and they are giving me water pills to get rid of the fluid in my legs. At this point, they are planning on doing skin grafts on my legs when they get rid of enough tissue. My stomach is so weak that is making me sick to talk about this. Linda in Ga

Thank you! It does not work that way though. The eopical meds that we are putting on the wounds are meant to eat up the meat until it is all clean. It is being done to keep from having surgery again. Whenit gets to a certain point where the Drs. think it is okay, they will try to do skin grafts on the places. Right now, everytime they are redressed and new meds put on them my skin is on fire and every nerve ending feels like lightening bolts going through my body. This goes on for 8 to 10 hrs and then it is time to redress them. No amt of meds can stop the pain. I really do not know how much longer I can stand this! I scream awhile and cry awhile. Then I do something worthwhile and pray. If anyone could hear me, I would probably be commited and put in a straight jacket. Linda
