Spoken by child: ‘Think about the generations, and say we wanna make it a better Place for our children and our children’s children, so that they… They, they… They know it’s a better world for them. And think if they can make it a better place…’ There’s a place in your heart And I know that it is love And this place could be much Brighter than tomorrow And if you really try You’ll find there’s no need to cry In this place you’ll feel There’s no hurt or sorrow There are ways to get there If you care enough for the living Make a little space Make a better place Heal the world Make it a better place For you and for me And the entire human race There are people dying If you care enough for the living Make a better place For you and for me If you want to know why There’s a love that cannot lie Love is strong It only cares of joyful giving If we try we shall see In this bliss we cannot feel, fear or dread We stop existing and start living Then it feels that always Love’s enough for us growing Make a better world Make a better world Heal the world Make it a better place For you and for me And the entire human race There are people dying If you care enough for the living Make a better place For you and for me And the dream we were conceived in Will reveal a joyful face And the world we once believed in Will shine again in grace Then why do we keep strangling life Wound this earth, crucify its soul Though it’s plain to see This world is heavenly Be God’s glow We could fly so …

Question by : This has to do with wound care. A friend of mine has an open wound possible caused by a water bubble that open?
He has diabetes and is taking insulin to control it. Some times his blood sugars are high but most of the time it is in the normal range. It started out as a small water bubble when it broke open about the size of 1/2″ to 2″, now it is about 3″ long and 2″ wide plus his ankle is swollen and just below the wound it is all red. He has pain when touching the wound but not around it. What should I do for him take him to a different doctor or just let the treatment run its course. Someone please help….THANKS IN ADVANCE.
Treatment now: cleaning wound with sterile water and betadine and applying a white cream ( I don’t know what it is) then wrapping it with gauze and an ace bandage. Also, applying ice when possible and keeping leg raised.
THANKS TEXAS RIVER RAT THAT IS THE ANSWER I HAVE HEARD OVER AND OVER AGAIN. SO, I WILL JUST DO JUST THAT “CLEAN, DRESS, LOTION TO LEG, ELEVATE” AND JUST WAIT FOR IT TO GET BETTER. I JUST SPENT 12 DAYS IN JANUARY IN THE HOSPITAL FOR CELLULITUOS INFECTION AND NOW THIS. THANKS FOR THE INFO.

Foot and lower leg wounds are particularly troublesome for diabetics. Their circulation is compromised as a general rule and especially in those areas furthest from the heart. So this wound needs vigilant treatment and observation. What you’re describing is cellulitis which just means the inflammation in the cellular structure under his skin.
I imagine the white cream you’re using may be silvadene which is commonly used in burns. Even though your friend may not have encountered a heat source the wound you describe sounds like a burn. It is very important to continue the treatment as long as the doctor indicates. I really think your friend’s doctor is doing the right things and see no real reason to seek another MD. It’s going to be most important to elevate that leg as much as possible … at work, while riding in a car, just while sitting around watching TV or at meal times. It simply improves the circulation and that’s what will assure the wound heals successfully.
Tell your friend to take SUPER good care of his feet!! He should use a good quality foot cream every night. When he bathes or showers he needs to be very particular about drying his feet; between the toes, along the toenail cuticles … all that needs daily attention and then the cream needs to be applied and rubbed into the skin until it’s all absorbed. This will keep the skin on his feet supple and he can expect less problems with sores or blisters. Should he start a day with ill fitting shoes he should NEVER finish the day with them. Tell him at work to keep a pair of those socks that have treads on the bottom in case he finds himself in that situation.
You don’t need to make a huge deal of this, but simple foot wounds lead to amputations in diabetic patients. Not a good outcome!
