Well Mr Beebs can't be lifted 100% of the time and being the willful gladiator that he is, drags himself around on his stump. This is not good as it has worn away a bit of hair the size of a quarter and after researching bed sores and pressure wounds this soft spot could become infected very easily. Apparently bed sores are what killed Christopher Reed so they are not to be taken lightly. I've been blotting the spot with an antiseptic and neopsorene on a daily basis. The difficulty is the stairs all over our house which makes hie wheel chair dangerous to use. There are times I just feel like I'm throwing my heart against the wall. This battle has raged for 3 solid years and the surgeon responsible for this is being investigated by the Ct Board of Health. However the board or peers that reviews these cases must be on a volunteer basis so that it could never be said that they were "paid" to come to any particular conclusion. Mr Beebs and I have come along way together and when the time comes to say goodbye I believe a part of me will die with him and a part of him will inspire me for the rest of my life.
