A friend of mine has a very bad wound on her lower leg. She is in a nursing home where they just decided to treat her wound in a bathtub with A-33 cleaner added to the water. Is this a usual (and/or) acceptable practice for wound care treatment? I thought you were suppose to go to great lenghts to keep A-33 off of your skin.

I understand that smoking is extremely addictive, but there are certain things we do for our kid that are very hard, and one of them is being pregnant, taking care of our bodies while pregnant and nursing (and I am not even talking about giving birth!). That is only the start of a difficult life of a parent. So, let me give you the facts that you probably already know, but they are important to repeat.
Hi im 10 weeks pregnant with early gestational diabetes , I was wondering if blurry vision has something to do with my diabetes and can it effect my baby?
Would it be helpful to families who advocate for home care to have extra support in planning care to have a professional planner and Alzheimer's coach available to them 24 hours a day for any questions and support in caring for their loved one?
I am working weekend doubles at a long term care/skilled nursing facility. I work 7am-11pm Sat and Sunday (32 hours) and am paid for 40 hours. So far, I have been doing okay...it is nice to get a whole week's worth of work done in two days and have all week to do other things. We also don't have to worry about child care for our 10 year old...one of us is always home this way.
My wife is having a serious episode of depression. She is 64 yrs old. She is currently in hospital and this is the second hospitalization in a month's time. They are recommending a nursing home for short term care. Their social worker claims that they will find possible facilities but have not responded to my calls when I ask for progress in the search. I have decided to do my own search to get her out of the hospital asap.
Hi All,
My wife is 28 years old and has type diabetes for the past 1.5 years. She has family history of diabetes. Her glucose and hemoglobin A1c are under control. We are planing for a baby and consulted an endocrinologist about it. He has recommended that she take tablet Glycomet 250 mg (one tablet each day).
she has type one diabetes and blood glucose levels have been running high around 200 for several days. she is in a nursing home and doesnt have any dementia, just chf , diabetes and kidney damage from diabetes. unable to walk due to fracture upper leg and hasnt been able to walk since july. really want to know why she thinks she has something in hand but really doesnt.
When I was in school for nursing I had a hard time concentrating also and studying nightly but I made it through. It doesnt hurt to seek counseling to have someone on the outside listen to your feelings. I am in Counseling myself for Depression, severe anxiety, ADHD etc.. You are NOT Psycho sweets, it's all a part of Diabetes..Feel free to write anytime you want to talk. I will answer you anytime I no how you feel. I am 46 and got Diabetes at 38 and now on a pump.
Depends on how far along the pregnancy is too - there was that story a few years ago about the woman that went skydiving - shute didn't open, she survived and at the hospital, came to find out she was pregnant and the baby was fine.
I want to continue nursing him throughout pregnancy and birth of my second. I was just curious if there are any other moms doing this, and if so how is it going for you? I have had some crazy nipple soreness but other then that my supply has been hanging in there and my son still wants to nurse a lot. So far so good I guess.
It started in the last few months of nursing my first child, continued after nursing, during my second pregnancy and again during nursing my second child. A few months back upon weening my second child the pain in this area became much more intense and then returned to the "normal" level upon completion of nursing. I have had two ultrasounds...the first was inconclusive as I was still nursing and all they could see were the milk ducts, however, in the second they fould a cyst.
Go to the nearest ER. The doctor should look at the wound, treat it, then run tests to check for parasites. He/she should also start your bf on antibiotics. As troy stated, this is a diabetic forum. I replied because years ago I got a parasite infection from a nick while in CR.
