My dad's venous leg ulcerseditI have a lot of questions about my dad's leg ulcers. Firstly, why did his very severe case of COVID-19 itself cause these ulcers. Secondly, why was he so malnourished? I know he was in agony, but I didn't know one could get so malnourished because of it. Thirdly, why does his leg leak more when he drinks water than other times. Fourthly and lastly, why wouldn't he let the care-giver do anything to it while Jo and Cleo did? Sadly, he passed away on October 30th of this year. And several months ago, he went to a doctor. They gave him an antibiotic, a pee pill, and some ibuprofen. But he wasn't allowed to take the pee pill or the antibiotic because his creatine in his kidneys was a little high, which isn't surprising because he took all those ibuprofens and Tylenols. My mom wasn't even allowed to touch his legs because they were so painful. She checked his oxygen and heart rate. His oxygen on the oximeter was 97%. And his resting heart rate was 110 bpm, which isn't surprising because of the pain. Hours later, his heart rate was 92 bpm. And his blood pressure was 116/76. 67.215.28.226 (talk) 22:15, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
