Been There, Done That

I'm heading back into University of Michigan Hospital tomorrow (Wednesday 1/16) for another surgery in an attempt to get the pressure sore I've been dealing with these last five months to heal properly. Those who've been following along are already aware that the procedure I'm undergoing tomorrow will be a repeat of the one I had back in October. Although highly less than ideal, as I was anticipating as recently as December that at this point in time the wound would be ready to be closed. Upon closer examination, my surgeon determined that the underlying bone might still contain some residual myelitis infection. Thus, he will be opening the sore back up and performing another bone biopsy. This procedure and the subsequent healing period will be a setback of at least another six weeks of convalescence. Thanks to everyone who has and continue to send words of encouragement.
