When hubby's bedsore finally heals, he's going to need a skin graft.
1. What keywords would help me learn what they will do?
2. How do I find out how much it cost?
3. How long would he be in the hospital?
4. Anyone know how long it takes to heal?
5. (The Big One) how do I talk the hospital that caused the problem to give the surgery for free?
 
Lynn,

please buy the book, BACK TO EDEN, by Jethro Klaus - you will find your questions answered there...
so many of them worked for us and many others... ...:)

Not to gross you out, lol, but nowadays, for many skin graft procedures, they take the skin from deceased people. Freaky but true. If they use John's own skin, most likely they'll take it from his legs or thighs. Usually the fleshiest part of the body. Try googling "skin grafts" and the name of whatever hospital it will be done at. He will probably be in the hospital for 2-4 weeks, depending on how well and fast/slow he heals. I would retain a lawyer for question number 5. lol

I'm more interested in the $ aspect than the medical aspect, although -- dang it! More dressing that causes pain afterward still? They said they'd take it off his butt. Except that's where they're putting it so how does he sit/lie down with no cheeks left?

I don't want the VA to do this because we know them as completely incompetent, so I'm trying to find out if we can afford this through Medicare or how to approach HUP, who caused the problem to do it for him.

Yeah. Lawyers want to be paid whether they win or lose and it would take years to settle. So not much of an option if his butt heals right. (If is becoming a problem now too.)

Not even in the times when the Israelites wandered across Sinai could herbs heal a hole 6 inches deep and 7 inches across. A hole that big was going to kill the person. Honey was used as an antibiotic back when it was that big. I'm cleaning it out now. You're just not ever going to convince me that a sore that big that is now just up to my second knuckle would have healed faster or better by putting herbs in it.
 
Won't the hospital tell you these things?

Yeah, but that's what I'm also stuck trying to learn and don't know what to google. Which hospital is the best in the area at it? Ever notice they brag if they're good at cancer, heart disease, and even burns, but not on fixing bedsores?

And I do know HUP is a very good hospital (except at taking care of patients recuperating after serious illnesses or accidents), so that's why I was hoping to figure out how to talk them into doing it.
 
Lynn,

you don't have to tell me or hubby 'little-one' about the pain of just looking at, much less trying to treat
an injury of the magnitude that you have to deal with...

hubby's Mother that was '84' had such horrific bed-sores that the doctors gave us on her and told us
that she would never leave the hospital,..

long story short, it took both of us on a 24.7 vigil of nursing and healing with 'natural-remedies' to get her
injuries-bed-sores, healed....it was no easy ride..it was exhausting and crueling and a long ordeal, but it was
successful...with our Saviour's help...don't you think we understand your anger???

love,
oldethennew
