We discovered the wounds on Friday morning...Since they are on the back of her leg, she could not see them, had not made me aware of them, nor had her doctors noticed them! I am sure they have been there for weeks!
They are worsening & are painful!
She is not running a fever.
We decided to go to the regional ER of a hospital this morning.....she has been given 2 different antibiotic IV's & will see the hospital's Wound Care Center hopefully in the morning.
