GOOD MORNING Facebook Friends! Its 24 minutes past 6 am on the East Coast, and I just talked with Dr. Mark Magill, a fellow at the Foot and Ankle Institute, who did the surgery yesterday afternoon. He said the surgery went well, they trimmed a small amount of the bone, sending off the samples for biopsy. I awoke in the recovery with a KCI Wound-Vac*, and he said he was recommending 90 days of IV antibiotic therapy. This means that your prayers for me have had a profound effect. *- V.A.C.® Therapy for Wounds Since its introduction in 1995 (U.S.) / 1994 (Europe), V.A.C.® Therapy has changed the way wounds are healed. With more published clinical evidence than any other form of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy, V.A.C.® Therapy has been selected as the treatment of choice for more than 8,000,000 wounds worldwide*. V.A.C.® Therapy promotes wound healing through Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT). By delivering negative pressure (a vacuum) at the wound site through a patented dressing, this helps draw wound edges together, remove infectious materials and actively promote granulation.
