Thank you very much, Kitty Mittens and all! Went in to have my dressings changed and more tests today. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to conduct all the tests they wanted. My left leg is too raw and painful (and oozing “yucky stuff” their words), and they said I would not be able to tolerate the tests. Maybe later. Have to go back tomorrow to see a wounds specialist. And they’re trying to arrange a home health aid to come out daily to change the dressings and do whatever else needs to be done on a daily basis. The good news is, my right leg is looking better. It’s dry and most of the ulcers seem to be healing. The left big toe is bad though. I may lose that one. No results yet on yesterday’s CT scan.

Our prayers are continuing, Jim.

I am looking forward to hearing you say that the left leg is improving.

I am happy they are arranging for a home health aid to come out to help and to check on you. I know the daily trips to VA are difficult. Maybe this will reduce the number of trips you need to make.

Take care and know that many are praying for you.

Thanks for the update ping, Amy.

Jim, that is good news that at least your right leg is improving and that someone will be coming out daily to check on you. Will they also be able to administer the insulin injections? It would be nice if they could take care of everything while they are there. That would take care of one worry I've had. I've been concerned about you and Sheila managing the insulin injections by yourselves.

Take care and please know that many people are continuing to send up prayers for you.

No angiogram? No blood thinners?

Thank you for the Update, and I'm Thanking our Lord that your Right Leg is Looking Better. A Health Aid Coming to your Home to Change the Dressing and Help Out is Good; Thank You, Lord, for Your Hand of Grace. My Prayers are with you, and I'll be on my Knees in the Next Hour or So, Calling Upon our Savior's Name. May His Presence be with you Daily, His Sweet Spirit Comforting and Strengthening your Heart. Our Loving Lord Blanket you with Mercies, and Bring you a Peaceful, Restful Night.

Thank you for the continued updates, Jim. We are really concerned and praying that you and the doctors will find relief somewhere, somehow, in this time of challenge. You are being a real trooper, but I know it is draining your reserve strength, so I am praying for renewed hope and strength. Then I am praying for a breakthrough in the treatment that will finally heal the wounds.

Thank you, Jesus, for being with Jim and the doctors as they press on for relief of pain and for healing for Jim. You can do all things. In your Name we pray. Amen.
