Allen,
As far as my leg wounds go, I have plateaued just short of full healing, but I am hoping that a change in materials, and some down time following the end of the semester will fix that. The swelling and discoloration are all significantly reduced, and my endurance is increased.
I won't really know how my system has adapted until I go back out in February. The only contextual clues I'd have is if my pre-surgery symptoms and problems return with a vengeance, but to this point, it has not happened.
So, I'm kind of in a holding pattern.

I have had two of the ulcers you are talking about. The wound clinic in Owosso Mi. did a great job healing them . Last December I broke my left foot and ankle which had to be rebuilt. I have two titanium plates and about 13 screws holding everything together. had to go back to the wound clinic to get two of the scars from the surgery to heal . they are now healed up. I had a stuborn cut on my left foot which would which would not heal. They used some kind of film which promotes healing and had amazing results in about a week .Almost healed up with just a pinhole left. Can't say enough about wound clinics. They are great. Hope you have as much luck as I have. Take it easy, you will get there. Have a good one ,Blondi
Good afternoon,
I have good reason to suspect, but cannot prove at this point, that at least parts of my venous system may be re-constricting. The swelling in my leg is up slightly, and I'm getting that toxic avenger vein in my left calf back again.
Looks like they're going to have to do a redo in February, but we'll see. I won't know for sure until they run the tests.

Andrew,
Any chance that your GP could refer you for a venous ultrasound to confirm/test your suspicions? Trouble is that even if this was confirmed could anything be done before February.

........don't be shy! Call them and explain that unfortunate circumstances have bought you to the area but that you seem to be developing something that is worrisome to you and your family. They probably will be happier to see you sooner, when it can be assessed and any necessary action taken, than wait to when it can become a problem.
I know this is what you are considering but do it while there. DON'T wait for the apt.
Pulling for you here!!
Fibber and Shadow Wolf 07,
I did call, but the surgeon was booked and the nurse who I coordinate with is off until next week. I will be in contact with them then, and we will determine where to go from there.

I will be in Rochester, MN from Tuesday evening (02/26) into Saturday morning. (03/01) The testing day will be the 27th of February, and the surgery day will be February 28th, 2018.
I will return to New Richmond, WI on Saturday, March 2nd for a much briefer stay through most of March 3rd before returning home on March 4th.
