"...I will have to have every day treatment pretty much the rest of my life!!..."

Now that is a real bummer. I feel for you. If you don't mind the question, what type of wound was it???

About 5 yeats ago, I got a small cut that got infected, and cause celulitus (sp?). That caused scaring, which has caused poor circulation. This lead me to getting a blister, which broke, got infected, and just will NOT heal. I caught it small - about 1/2 inch - the exudate (sp) has caused some secondary effects due to maceration

Fun (not) - 4-5 months to heal, but the real trick is to prevent it from happening again - what they are going to do is have me wear compression pants 60-90 minutes a day every day to force blood circulation

Ouch. Sounds like you have a good handle on taking care of it, and hopefully preventing a recurrance. Good luck with it...
