Looks like you making all the right moves, Melody. Unless Alan accidently busts it open again it should heal soon.

Default Melody? What can I say....

Other than it comes with the territory!
That Alan has been SOO LUCKY not to have had this happen on a regular basis before is a blessing.
I always have several near misses each year and one GOOD ONE! Entailing a trip to the ER, X-rays, wheel chair, PT the whole works. It is not FUN!
Count your blessings and keep on going. 's - j

I am so sorry for your husband. I hope he continue s to heal. My gramps falls a lot and constantly has gashes. The last one he hit his head on a coffee table when he fell. Is this from balance issues for Alan? THis is my huge fear falling. I often feel like my legs will give out but the doctors are like no it just feels that way. As we know they can be wrong so not feeling to reassured. Hope he feels better. He has a good nurse.
Hi Aunt Sue just thinking of you.

Hi Daniella:


Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Alan doesn't have balance issues (at least not to my knowledge).
This was a big step going up to the restaurant. Alan's neuro tests his balance every time he goes. She says his balanced is much much better since he is doing the ivig thing.

Hope you are doing good.

Default The only thing I can add is...

if there continues to be bleeding episodes it might be that flap of skin getting yanked on that's doing it. If it seems like it is, take a scissors, the smallest you can find, pour some alcohol over the blades and then carefully cut the skin as close as you can. That should help.

Glad it wasn't any worse than it was! Ouchies to Alan! And to you too! Tell him is wasn't nice scaring 10 yrs off your life!
