We used to think that diet was a key to preventing stones, but research has shown this to not be true. Fluid intake, standing and moving all help but by themselves do not prevent stones.
as to how to find a good urologist, I would start with the question, how many patients do you have with...

The key to healing this MAY be surgery. It is deep and often times this type of sore does not heal well from the inside out. I would consult a plastic surgeon and get their recommendations. At least then you will know if surgery is an option.

Once your skin had healed and is able to tolerate sitting, you should be able to go back to using your commode. You may need to add a cushion to help protect the surgical area, but I would get your doctors opinion and a PTs opinion.
it unfortunately takes time to get to this point.

It is not a simple problem to solve. Everyone has their own tricks. Hopefully you can pick up some tips from the posts.

Sadly, it is not uncommon to have malfunctioning with catheters. One way to prevent this is to fill the balloon catheter to make sure it is intact - not leaking prior to insertion.

If there has been no progress in the wound filling in from 1 cm depth and 3.5 cm undermining - I would recommend consulting a plastic surgeon for a surgical closure/flap. Make sure radiological studies are completed to rule out bone infection/inflammation involvement as well.

You may want to look at medical foster homes in your community also - they may cost similar to ALF.
Some assisted living facilities allow you to spend down your savings and then apply to Medicaid for those benefits.
It's a tough thing good luck

Suggest you see a specialist in infectious diseases. The bite you describe sounds like a spider bite to me, not a mosquito. Have you ever had an MRI to confirm your MS diagnosis?

Your skin gets more fragile as you age, and if you did sunbathing or smoking (or use of other tobacco products) this is worse.
Can you feel a firm edge on the lesion above? If so, you may have developed a deep tissue injury, which is a type of pressure injury (ulcer). Best to stay off it...Leave a comment:

Transferring with an open palm and the wrist extended significantly increases your risk for carpel tunnel syndrome.

Ask your urology doctor to test your urine for a fungal (yeast) infection. The usual antibiotics won't treat this, and so it is not generally included in a C&S. (KLD)Leave a comment:

The link above, being 5 years old, is no longer valid. The new name of the organization is the The National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel and the link to the descriptions of different stages of pressure injuries is here:
