Hi hon.

He's had the doppler. and he always gets his pulse checked. His pulse is strong and sound. He does not have Periperal Vascular disease.

He has CIDP, and because he has neuropathy, he never knew he had the foot ulcer because he went on a treadmill during cardiac rehab (he had a stent put in).

So for two years, (because of the positioning of the bone in his foot), his ulcer could not heal because he put his foot down on the floor.

He no longer can do this because of the C.R.O.W. boot.

The doc thinks that this time will be the charm.

Oh, he's not diabetic by the way.
