Had flap surgery, Monday, May 22. All went well. My ischiel bone was scraped and smoothed. Two muscles and flesh were pulled into place to construct the flap. Biopsies of the bone revealed a staphylococcus infection, however, according to Doc, appears benign.
Now on Clinitron bed, with no movement that would irritate the flap, that could prevent adhesion of the muscles covering my ischiel bone. In total I expect to be in hospital seven weeks, most spent in bed.
I am in Augusta, Ga. VA hospital. Receiving fabulous treatment from tremendous doctors, PAs nurses, LPNs and other care givers.
First pressure sore in nearly 15 years.
