Most recent status of wounds (GRAPHIC)

[spinnis]

Sounds like you wouldn't be able to handle something like this.

If you make your hand a fist and then open it again can you see bones moving in your wound?

[Mars]

yeah i hope you recover soon, that sucks.

[240 is Back]

shit Mike---- that's 4 weeks worth?

Please, stop starting threads prasing how awesome our American health care system is.  You're literally decomposing as you type, after spending a year and 200k trying to solve this.

[Canadian_Muscle]

It reminds me of that scene in Terminator when Arnold cuts his arm open and does what Swede said.

[Moosejay]

Man, I don't wish that upon anyone.

Hope you find out what in the world is causing that, so you get better ASAP.

Although, I've seen guys in South America be able to scam tourists of their money by making scars like that and being able to keep them open yet remain painless.

What does that mean?

Oh, and I like that avatar...I actually have that porno.

[Moosejay]

If you make your hand a fist and then open it again can you see bones moving in your wound?

Yes.

I can see the bones, the extensor tendons moving back and forth, blood vessels...thick slabs of injured flesh.,...it is surreal.

[D_1000]

God almighty...

Best wishes on your recovery.

[Permabulker]

Looks terrible man.  Wish you the best in finding the cure....  We all talk a lot of shit on here but mostly in good fun...  Wouldnt wish that on any fellow getbigger...

[J Grey]

[Butterbean]

Oh Lord

Praying for you and your doctors!!

[J Grey]

Oh Lord

Praying for you and your doctors!!

would this be a bad time to ask to hold your hand to pray with you for him? 
just to hold your hand.........but also to pray

[Butterbean]

Why did you have a bad experience at Mayo's?  Which one did you go to? 

[240 is Back]

Moose,

Please...

Go talk to some different doctors.

I know you have nothing but love for your guy and he has a great reputation, but every doc can't solve every problem.  The change over the last month - very bad decline quickly.

Please, get on a plane, and go see someone else.

Some problems cost millions of dollars to fix.

We value l;ife here.

Most countries...I would be cooked. They would say "Fuck you..." via socialist systems.

Please Rob, you are a worldly and smart guy

However

I am in this...not you.

I am a denizen and recipient of whatever comes my way in the form of help.

Despite my present lot, I feel I have been served well.

[Mars]

pose in peace.

[Moosejay]

I'm praying for you, and I hope your doctors solve this problem.

I'm just saying that in their small circle, they're not solving this.  

There is some doc out there who could identify and solve this.

You can stick to your guy out of some jingoist pride and loyalty to your guy who has been your lifeline over the last year.

Or you can say "fucck it... it's getting worse, not better, so I'm going to get a second opinion".


Your doc may be offended, but he gets to keep his arm no matter how this one turns out, and like you said, he's a salaried employee.

Get a second opinoin from someone outside your doctor's circle.

Please listen to Rob Moosejay!  I had a doc that I loved and thought was great who let me bleed for 8 months.  I told her my internet diagnosis and she ignored it, trying other things.  I finally went to another doc who after tests found my diag. to be correct and had surgery 2 weeks later and the problem was ended!

Please, you look as though you could possibly lose your arm.

It seems when you attempt to tell some DRs their job they instantly take offense.  I have experienced this with my wife over some health issues in the past.  Its your life in their hands and they get offended.  Quaks!  That said there are a lot of great Dr.s who are very knowlegeable and have compassion for their patience..  Good luck man and God bless. 

[The Ugly]

What does jingoism have to do with health care?

You are correct.

No jingoism, either.

I am contemplating a trip to Mayo...I have two more surgeries, one after the other, scheduled wioth current guy...then Mayo for the heavy guns.

[D_1000]

Okay, I need to know...

How did this whole thing begin? Did your skin just start deteriorating out of the blue?

[Moosejay]

how does it not bleed?

Ya know, JG, I don't know why it does not bleed. Weird.

I'm sure some get irritated w/people that diagnose themselves from the internet but sometimes we are right.  At least they could consider our findings.

I couldn't believe when I woke up from surgery my old doc was in the recovery room (which is large and others are in there behind curtains).  I told the nurse attending me that was my old doc that let me bleed for 8 months.  She slammed shut the curtain so the doc couldn't see me and said "To hell w/her!"

I have nothing against my old doc as a person but as a doctor she may not be the most competent. 

Second opinions can be very important
