Light At End Of Tunnel

I see the wound this week. I am visited by plastic surgeons, dressing specialists and general surgeons as well as my consultant. All have a good prod.. the plastic surgeon actually puts his finger inside the wound. The is an argument about what treatment I should. My consultant wants an operation, plastic surgeon wants a vacuum dressing, the dressing specialist wants a honey dressing. The dressing specialist wins as she is the only one with access to the vacuum dressing and the plastic surgeon refuses to operate. I look at the wound every day now when they change the dressing. The honey does seem to be having a positive effect.

Other news is that I’m almost certain to be having a transplant. Their is an donor lined up for 3-4 weeks. My leg needs to be ready by then. Once the transplant is done I could be beginning to get back to normal within 2/3 weeks. Could this be light at the end of the tunnel. However have not heard all the risks and details yet..
