Well, I liked your advice, Sally

Then it was worth the effort anyway, thanks Sharlene.

youre a jerk

That the best you can do? Didn't even merit a chuckle. Guess they don't make Philly guys like they used to.

Have you taken your father to a dermatologist for a consult on the wound healing problems?

Wow...gratitude for you. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I am done here.

Diabetes type 2 is the most common cause of wounds not healing well. And--high blood sugar can go undiagnosed for a long time. When one is ill--it rears its ugly head.

For instance, my blood sugars stay pretty normal-unless I'm sick or hurt--then they skyrocket.

If that's been ruled out--I'm not sure of what else is going on, but circulation issues can also hinder healing. Some with CRPS don't heal very quickly either.

Is there a loss of hair on his legs by chance? (a common finding in circulation issues)
