Hiya all, hate this topic but nervous cuz not to be nasty but my old wound has puss in it as my husband sees' it. He and I just got back together recently so this is new for him, I will call the Wound Center in the am about an appointment to see what's up, any ideas though? I have been sick, on prednesdone and antibiotic now for wheezing, just had the pneumonia what 3 weeks ago, and found out I had a heart attack in the past sometime. *sigh* And this area happens to be the hind end type…so yay! Nice honeymoon period for my husband and I eh? lol If I don't laugh I am going to scream. My skin is pretty sore all over between the legs, etc right now too but I have really been walking my rear off so I am sure that's why. Sorry to complain, just needed to vent and talk to my family and friends here. Thanks for any information or support back! Hugs! Sheila

If you have access to a pool, swimming in a heavy clorinated pool tends to help heal wounds also. it kills anything that is living in those wounds. But make sure the owner of pool knows about it first, they might get squeemish if they find out you got in pool with a wound.

I guess it depends on the size and depth of wound. Found out last week the one I was on(KCI) they charge $146.00 a day.! That gave me a heart attack
If you need more info, let me know.
