My PS wants to perform a surgery in leiu of the VAC by using a drain. He feels this is the safest route even though it's only a 65% success rate. If I go the VAC route my home nurse said it could take 6-8 weeks using white foam, even longer. I don't have the dimensions of the wounds but I can tell you my protein and Vitamin C intake are excellent. I fear the surgery not working and going back to square 1, and infection with the VAC, continued tunneling and extended time to heal. HELP!
