Granny's gone and done it again

I'm not sure. It's a grade 2 if that helps? What is a wound vac.?
Would vac is when they put sponge in the wound, insert the tip of a hose and seal everything with special tape. Other end of hose is in a small machine that is in a small back pack that you carry with you. It sucks out anything that drains into the sponge material. They do that for large areas that are hard to heal or can't be stitched shut. Also for diabetics. It heals allot faster. A visiting nurse would replace everything about twice a week
 
Today I decided to quit taking the Meloxicam. I'm concerned about long-term effects. You're only supposed to take it for 10 days and I've bern on it a couple of years. I got the Gabapentin down from 3x300mg to just one a day, at bedtime, and I can't really tell any difference. Today my hands hurt from the cold, but they would hurt even if I was taking the Meloxicam so I don't see any advantage in taking it. I took a couple of Tylenol instead. We'll see how it goes.


I don't know if it will help or if you've tried it, but Bayer makes one which has caffeine in it. It's supposed to enhance the effect of the aspirin and has good reviews for arthritis.
