Hi Sharon, fancy that!!!!!!!!!!
This Sharon is a good girl she is, yes she
is!!!!!<br
time it worries me that I will not be able to stop the
two new leg ulcers that are developing. Just worked
on one for 15 weeks and it is not all gone yet.
Ditto for one big toe ( I have two if those). When
getting older….and I certainly am, my skin on the feet
and legs having diabetes for 41 years is showing a
disturbing color and sensitivity. Just some pressure, like
crossing legs when sleeping can cause pressure ulcers
under those circumstances.<br
diabetes ulcers but it can also come from deep vein
thrombosis I think I’m working on. The worry therefore is to
suddenly die from a bloodcloth of the DVT. or lose a leg
or two. (Even got two of those.) Then my
catherization of the bladder which quit on me 11 years ago is
always a great worry. Must catherterize 4X daily. No fun
at all,….but….<br
defence mechanism for me but of cause I have my dark
moments also. Like I saw somewhere at every situation you
have two choices.<br
other is laugh it off. (If you can.), and be
optimistic. It is your choice what you want to be. Most of
the time I win with optimism but not always. Such is
life.<br
and I know that….just thinking of the two choices
at that time is the key.<br

John on your leg ulcers. How did the two new ones
start, do you know? By chance are your legs the same
color? If you looked at mine you would think they belong
to two different people. Do not have any ulcers
right now but I certainly have had them especially on
the bottom of my feet. <br
I was invited. I see some names like John V that
are very familar and others i don’t recognize.

dependent for 57 years, type l. <br
to discuss our problems and worries with each other
is very important. I really do not discuss my D
problems with any one else. <br

Hello Somons,…I could welcome you as a new
member but I’m here only one week myself. Did receive
you e-mail. Don’t know what happened.<br
have two new ulcers coming up half-way up on my left
leg. There was nothing to start them, except as I said
before once the skin because of long time diabetes
becomes very sensitive most of these things start as
pressure ulcers. Pressure can come from just crossing your
legs during sleep. I have no idea where this twins
came from.<br
with teatree oil but saw some info that warned about
it, more for animals then for humans. On the<br
other hand (you have different fingers)we are human
animals I believe. So after a few days of bactroban and
seeing them worsening I went back to teatree oil and
they all-ready look better today. I can’t say for sure
if it works but I will stick to it to see for onces
and for all if it is as good as they say. One leg
looks more spotty and colored than the other but both
are not healthy. My big ulcer on my ankle is still
not gone but much less. That one took about 15 weeks
so far. No ulcers under my feet as yet, thank
Nature.<br
