so you said that this had been a wound an open sore a diabetic ulcer yes year
and a half ago and developed a blister and it became a tumor is what the doctor
called it a tumor okay No oh no officer I know you're right that officer know
that which just means open sore no yep oh and wait for it to close kept
trimming one series three four weeks and now we've been doing pretty good except
for today I won't have any of ten weeks but we're gonna start going longer in
between visits because it's been doing the graded okay and you have the special
inserts in your shoes to help take the pressure off the spot yes ma'am
okay sure you now do you have enough sensation in your feet that this is
actually painful when it gets thick like this a little bit yes painful Zarya were
more uncomfortable slightly painful okay
very surprising when you get that done but you don't feel as though what you're
doing right because it's just so much dead skin you know it's like cutting
really thick hair look like there's nobody there
you know I'm I'm waiting till I get a little bit deeper it's definitely the
skin at the base is kind of mushy and what I don't know if it's broken open
deep to the skin though so let me just get a little bit deeper you haven't
noticed any drainage or anything coming I might have you okay
is this like like a lifetime thing now for me yes it is well unless you discuss
lifting up the bone that sits right under here or shortening it so that you
don't have this extra pressure right on the spot anymore that would be a fix
that's a surgery mm-hmm which you know is fine as long as your blood sugars are
well controlled and and you know you'll heal and you're able to stay off your
foot for a bit after but okay so at this point it does not appear that there's
any open sores this is just kind of all mushy skin mushy that says yeah very
close so this whole area you you're you're looking at the monitor there this
whole area right here the skin is kind of wet like if you left a band-aid on
too long and so if it had gone just a little bit more time it would have
broken open into an open wound so I think the two-and-a-half months is
probably too long for you know six or eight weeks probably well insurance will
only allow you to come every age but there's things you can do to manage it
at home as well do you do any kind of care for it
at home you know insurance lets me come here before that one do they okay
you know everybody's insurance is different so Medicare their rule is two
months but okay so what I'm gonna do today is I'm gonna put a little extra
pad around it just to keep the pressure off it and just leave that on until the
next time you shower because I left you part of my glove right that's waking
purple it is it shows up as blue on the video though it's kind of unusual okay
and then then this will just help it stay on and keep the area covered so it
looks good today but yeah let's get you back in at 6:00 or 8:00 to trim it again
and thank you for letting me video it
