| my friend
stepped on desert cactus needles last fall, and the wound on her heel
remains open and draining, and will not heal. she is not diabetic, and she
has seen two doctors who have not been very helpful,...one suggesting major
surgery, the other suggesting prosthesis,...she is very despondent, and her
life has been badly impaired.....we would be thankful to anyone who has had
a similar experience, who might offer suggestions or recommend a treatment.

| I just got back
from a state home health conference (May 2003) and was verbally given the
information on how NaCl can last 5 weeks in the fridge in a patient's home.
I am still looking for the printed material to back this information up. I
didn't realize it would be so hard to find! In all my searching today, my
search words brought me to your question! If ANYONE has any information on
this, please share! Melanie |

| Can you please
provide me with comprehensive resources and/or alternatives for diabetic
foot ulcers for my mother. My mother is 76 is on hemodialysis, has
hypertension, congenital heart disease, serious leaky heart and atrial
fibrillation and COPD. Prior to dialysis in early fall 2002 she began to
complain of pain in her foot, since then and thru hospitalizations she
developed foot ulcers. She recently underwent vascular surgery and while in
rehab developed more ulcers on the same foot and on the other foot. The MD's
are stating the vascular surgery worked but it is not helping the neuropathy
and small artery disease of her feet. What do you feel are alternatives to
additional vascular surgery on the other leg, and clinical matters to
address in general. I would appreciate a very quick response in general and
if possible. Regards, Trummell |
