As far as healing goes dont underestimate getting some sun or other ways to keep and get your Vitamin D levels up. For me and many others I have talked to (and research supported too) it is a key in healing. I am trying to get my surgeries going here as I am in the finaly days of getting sun outside before the colder end of fall sets in. I drop right away in my D levels. I havent had enough in me for long enough since being deficient for a few years to store it like some people do. I wish you well..........
