"I'm a Sore Loser"

Because of his diabetes, Bob Schlidt of Merton suffered with two large silver dollar sized wounds on each of his heels for several years. The wounds were standing in the way of him being able to receive physical therapy for another issue that he's had for years ... back pain. But once Bob found out about hyperbaric oxygen therapy at ProHealth Care's Wound Healing Center in Oconomowoc, that all changed.

"Healing is a two-way process," explains Bob. "It's what the doctors can do for you, and what you can do for yourself. So there needs to be good communication. The ProHealth Care doctors listen to you. They welcome you like a long-lost brother, and they're happy to see you."

Being a bit claustrophobic, he was also concerned about the hyperbaric oxygen chamber. But the staff in the Wound Healing Center were "awesome" and he was able to get in the chamber with no trouble at all.

"You can even watch movies in there," marvels Bob.

If you have a wound that won't heal, maybe it's time you become a sore loser, too. Talk to your doctor or call ProHealth Care's Wound Healing Center at 262-928-8899.
