  • Hello Mick

    I'm sorry to hear about all that you've been through and the struggles you've had with your health. It sounds like it's been a really difficult time for you and it's understandable that you may have questions and concerns about your situation. 

    It's good to know that your leg ulcers are being dressed regularly and certainly the nurses who are doing this should be keeping an eye on the wounds and liaising with your doctors if further treatment, such as antibiotics, are appropriate. 

    It might be worth giving our team of nurses a call and chatting through some of your questions and concerns with them before your next appointment. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I do hope that you can get some support to help improve things Mick. 

    Best wishes, 
    Jenn
