ulcer resolution

A personal note: The neuropathic/pressure/diabetic ulcer mentioned below has healed. I'm fascinated that it survived surgery (which was meant to clear a bacterial infection, not to repair it) and "lived" for another ten months, for a total of fifteen months of existence, before resolving itself. My best guess is that adopting a more substantial, rigid-ribbed ankle brace to support gait correction, along with continued good blood glucose control, supported or enabled healing.
