So I had another dressing change today. I know I said I'd take pictures, and today would have been a good day for it. The wound bed is slightly smaller, and the depth has changed. However, she used a little scraper and took of a thick layer of what she called "Wound Snot" - a layer of dead tissue. Underneath it was red, healthy tissue! Yay!!!!
However, that last post of mine suggested that the dressings develop quite the odor. Well, it turns out that they shouldn't, at least not like they had. The odor was being caused by a yeast infection in the surrounding skin. She used a powder treatment and set me up for a dressing change on Friday instead of waiting until next monday.Aperte mala cm est mulier, tum demum est bona. -- Syrus, Maxims
