Sadly, things won't likely change for you in your lifetime, unless you win the lottery! As a former attendant for a few disabled folks and an Esthetcian of over a decade, I would love for you to get your hands on an L.E.D light to help repair things. I really like the Nuface model as it has other attachments that can aide in improving muscle tone, but any L.E.D might help to speed your recovery and could be purchased for under $200.00. The cost isn't peanuts, but could prove to be a worthy investment, especially if it gets you to Europe!<br />Best wishes,<br />Lisa Lisa Chavezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18427843238005238198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-82637934743276366732019-04-11T05:02:18.323-07:002019-04-11T05:02:18.323-07:00Hi,

My work day consists of driving from my home to about 9 clients each day, then back home. The first visits are for medications, then about 3 or 4 wound visits, the whole gamut of causes. I’d say aetiologies but I hate medical language and only use it in my performance reviews and mandatory education that is all token anyway.<br />I hear you.<br />I share your frustration with the whole wound care scene and over here it seems like we have ;<br />Wound clinics where only the latest trends in dressings and therapies are used,<br />Wound specialists who seem to survive in their positions by knowing what the latest, gold standard, most expensive therapies are and telling everyone else what to do,<br />Doctors who slap whatever wherever and leave the rest to the nurses and patients to sort out, and<br />Nurses who either do or don’t care. For those who don’t, they get visits done quick so they can have a coffee and for those who do they make the one step forward before the one step back. There are enough good ones that simple wounds generally heal, but red tape and policies get in the way of a lot of good outcomes. It's hard to be an advocate when an organisation can veto whatever you try to do right. So while the system puts people at the mercy of bureaucrats it ends up like this. And I guess that innovation in wound care is lacking as well. <br />I'd like to share your last post with those nurses I work with who do have hearts.<br />Thanks for sharing your struggle; it does effect us.<br />PatPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05705145703107386302noreply@blogger.com
