We all thought it would end quickly because any sane person would just say "F this lark, I've had enough." But for some reason pcad kept answering and answering and answering; all for no post count addition being in foo. the gods took pity on pcad and closed the thread. that is when all the masses starved of wisdom from the great pcad, hijacked this thread that he had created to drone on and on about his stupid Scott Addict, to drink from font of pcad.

I find it amazing that you're specialists did not communicate all this to you. Maybe I am not the norm but every patient gets me explaining in language they can understand, the diagnosis, what causes the problem and the options for treatment including what I would do for a loved one. Education and communication are key. And it's fun knowing that you can make a difference.

for an online blow-hard, pcad is amazingly sane in person, which dovetails nicely with his movie star looks and urbane wit and sophistication.

I don't find it amazing at all. You are not the norm.

After today's 45 mile ride (I did have the compression stocking as usual for the ride) my right (the effected leg) and the left side were identical in size (previously it was often the case the right leg looked larger). I do think it's slowly coming around.

And yes, that's what the medical websites essentially said, that it's compression stockings and treating an ulcerations properly should they recur. At least I know what I'm dealing with. What's amazing to me is I could have been told all of this in ten minutes by my specialist. I got most of what I know about this from him, but then had to figure out the rest on my own. I shouldn't have to figure out any of it on my own, that's what he's supposed to do.

I really don't understand some of these doctors. When I see that wound treatment guy again I'll ask him why he didn't answer my question when Google did relatively easily.

I hope Lowcel gets his ankle fixed so we don't have to keep seeing those god awful trotters all bruised and swollen.

We are caring people.
