040963 - Lana advised that the wound bed today has less to no evident infection

040965 - along the perimeter of the wound opening may be infected.
040967 - ..
040968 - Lana seemed to indicate that "undermining" of the wound has improved
040969 - but remains major problem. She feels further debridement is needed
040970 - for the wound to heal. She described this in part as removing dead
040971 - and possibly infected skin along the perimeter of the wound.
040973 - ..
040974 - Lana used a scaple to cut some of the dead skin around the perimeter
040975 - of the wound. This caused pain level "20". As a result, Lana did not
040976 - complete this debridement surgery, similar to Jessica's report
040977 - performing original debridement last week on 150923. At that time,
040978 - she was unable to complete debridement surgery, because the pain was
040979 - too intense for the patient.
040981 - ..
040982 - Discussed hiking for wound therapy. Lana approved 2 - 3 miles daily
040983 - hiking until next examination on 151005, and in order to maintain
040984 - blood flow to wound that stimulates recovery. She prescribed rest
040985 - with leg elevated after hikes.
