I haven't posted in a long time, but I have a good excuse. I had a bad place on my right foot under a bunion, of course mine got infected. I called my doctor on Dec 26, she was gone. The podiatrist was gone also. I got an appointment at the wound center, I've been there so many times I don't need a referral any more. I started on an antibiotic and had to stay off my foot. A week later went back, still infected. Now I need a bone scan. I've had bone scans before for the three toes I don't have any more. Sure enough I had an infection in the bone. I have an excellent doctor, and he suggested I try Hyperbaric treatment. In case you don't know, that is 100% oxygen at 2X the earth's atmosphere. I was a bit skeptic about being closed into a little capsule for 2 hours. I now have had 11 treatments out of 40. I have to go Monday - Friday, for 8 weeks. It doesn't bother me at all now. The first time I went in I felt like Dr. Spock on Star Track when they put him in the capsule and shot him into outer space.
