What A Difference A (Silver) Day Makes!
I will not say much today as I am annoyed over arriving an hour late at the Foot Clinic last week and 20 minutes late at Podiatry today.
What I wanted to show you is the improvement after two weeks of Silver Alginate dressings instead of the inconsistency of one step forward, one step back with some people doing their own thing.
Here is my foot today:-
Rather better than a few weeks ago don't you think?
Time for bed (Zzzzz emoji) as early doors physiotherapy tomorrow!

Oh my. What a (positive) difference. That now looks to be healing, rather than a foot going around the doldrums of uncertainty.
Fingers firmly crossed this can continue Mikey.

So pleased that you are getting consistent treatment on your foot now. It's looking a lot better than before. Fingers crossed that you continue to improve @@MikeyBikey

Much better. Not weepy and looks to be healing. Have they continued the silver dressings this week. I hope you will forgive the pun but please put your foot down and insist on silver dressings every time and show them these photos as your evidence. Seeing this improvement really gives you hope that it can get better with the right treatment and after 2+ years of battling this you really need some sign of positive change, so lets hope this is the turning point.
