What a good point. Never would have thought, that because he is completely numb, that he might get a burn.
But, just to be clear about his wounds healing, or not healing, HE HEALS PERFECTLY FINE. The reason for his foot ulcer is that he has a bone impingement on the bottom of his foot. He has no diabetes so when he heals, HE HEALS PERFECT.
So we have to find out tomorrow if this new guy will consider shaving down the bone, so when his foot ulcer ultimately heals, and he can walk again, that there will be no more bone impingement.
At least we are crossing fingers and toes.
Will update when we come back tomorrow.
And thanks so much for giving me the info about possibly burning his feet. Never would have seen that one coming.

Duh! Now I see it! I thought Alan was diabetic as well! Now why did I think that? *wanders off to ponder this*
