View Full Version : Infection In My Foot

Hi Everyone,

As most of you know I broke my Ankle in early Sept. & required surgery which involved placing two plates & screws in my right leg.
The metal on one of the plates has rubbed on the skin which has broke open the skin & it is infected.

I am on antibiotics & am away from work right now & taking Tylenol 3's for pain
(two at a time) and sometimes that doesn't take away the pain.

I have to wait until early May to get the plate & screws out as they won't remove them before the 8 month mark to give the bones time to harden.

Prayers are appreciated.

Thanks.

Ron

Hope you are taking calcium and Vit D supplements.

Hope you are taking calcium and Vit D supplements.

Think it will help?

Think it will help?

Absolutely!!

You don't store calcium anymore, so anything you have stored will be used if supplements aren't taken. Calcium aids in the promotion of bone growth and strengthening, and Vit D aids in the absorption of calcium.

Best to take with acidic drinks, like OJ instead of milk. Acid helps it to absorb better and faster.

In a lot of pain right now.
So far WCB is okay with my being off and will pay my wages.
Work says that it is okay as well.

Hurts like the dickens & have taken two Tylenol 3's with not much result.

Appreciate the prayers.

Bro. Ron,

May the Lord God give you patience and wisdom during this time off. Don't

think of being bored. What a wonderful time to spend quite time with Him. He

wants to give us rest. Just be still and know that He is God and He may be

wanting to spend quite time with you. I have learned that while He wanted

me to be still and know, when trying times arose, it was for my good. He came

through and I learned even more how much He really cared. I learned to trust Him

even more. No one will ever care for us like JESUS!

Blessings,

Falla39

I heard the antibiotics are not going to help once it is infected with the metal rubbing against your foot. What is the doctor going to do about it?

The thought had crossed my mind.

Actually I am on Wokers Comp.
They pay 95% of your wages with no taxes!

I could litterally be paid for life!!!

I don't want that & know that they would pay for retraining!

Jest got back from my family Doctor & he said it doesn't look infected but he thinks all of the problem is coming from the placement of the hardware in my foot!
He's gonna call the Surgeon & lay into him!
