I had to undergo emergency surgery to remove the infected tissues leaving a wide open wound that was required to heal from the inside out. As a result of the wound I had to undergo wound care everyday for a couple months. Part of the time my wound care would be in Anchorage and part of the time my wound care was out here in the Valley.
