Susan Dyke se recuper\u00f3 bien de un choque frontal en 2020 que la dej\u00f3 con el estern\u00f3n roto, el tobillo destrozado y al menos 10 costillas rotas. Varillas met\u00e1licas y tornillos estabilizaron su tobillo, le cosieron las incisiones y empez\u00f3 a recuperarse de las dolorosas lesiones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Me cur\u00e9 bien y segu\u00ed con mi vida\", dijo Susan, de 74 a\u00f1os, que se jubil\u00f3 en 2015 despu\u00e9s de tres d\u00e9cadas como enfermera a cargo en la segunda planta de Hospital de Tobey<\/a> en Wareham, su ciudad natal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pero no se hab\u00eda recuperado del todo, y lo que ocurri\u00f3 despu\u00e9s le causar\u00eda dolor durante varios a\u00f1os - hasta que encontr\u00f3 ayuda con Tobey Makepeace Cuidado de heridas<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hace unos dos a\u00f1os, Susan not\u00f3 una mancha roja del tama\u00f1o de una moneda de diez centavos en el tobillo que le hab\u00edan reparado quir\u00fargicamente tras el accidente. La mancha no dol\u00eda, pero no desapareci\u00f3 y, a pesar del tratamiento, su estado empeor\u00f3 en los meses siguientes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le aparecieron lesiones por todo el cuerpo, excepto en la cara. Consult\u00f3 a dermat\u00f3logos y alerg\u00f3logos, pero no obtuvo ninguna respuesta. \"Nadie sab\u00eda lo que estaba pasando\", dice. \"Se me despellejaba la piel. Era repugnante. Nadie sab\u00eda c\u00f3mo solucionarlo\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un antiguo compa\u00f1ero de trabajo le dijo a Susan que el Hospital Tobey hab\u00eda abierto Makepeace Wound Care en agosto de 2023. Es uno de los tres centros de atenci\u00f3n de heridas que Southcoast Health gestiona en colaboraci\u00f3n con Healogics<\/a>el mayor proveedor nacional de servicios avanzados para el cuidado de heridas, que recientemente ha reconocido a Southcoast Health Wound Care como un Centro de Distinci\u00f3n<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Susan entr\u00f3 en la oficina de Dra. Pilar Alonso<\/a>Director M\u00e9dico de Cuidados de Heridas de Southcoast Health, en noviembre de 2023. \"Quiero ayudaros\", dijo el Dr. Alonso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Como no hab\u00eda ninguna herida abierta, el Dr. Alonso decidi\u00f3 hacerle un estudio vascular para comprobar el flujo sangu\u00edneo a sus extremidades y determinar si hab\u00eda alg\u00fan problema circulatorio. Pero en cuanto se infl\u00f3 el manguito de presi\u00f3n arterial, Susan sinti\u00f3 \"un dolor ag\u00f3nico, punzante\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La ingresaron en el Hospital Tobey, donde los cirujanos descubrieron una grave infecci\u00f3n por estafilococos que se hab\u00eda vuelto s\u00e9ptica. Uno de los cirujanos le dijo a Susan que ten\u00eda suerte de conservar la pierna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los hemocultivos y otras pruebas determinaron qu\u00e9 tipo de antibi\u00f3ticos se le administrar\u00edan por v\u00eda intravenosa. Pas\u00f3 casi tres semanas en el hospital, desde mediados de noviembre hasta principios de diciembre, seguidas de rehabilitaci\u00f3n en el Sippican Health Care Center de Marion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Estaba en silla de ruedas. No pod\u00eda andar\", dice Susan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regres\u00f3 a casa en diciembre con ayuda de la Asociaci\u00f3n de Enfermeras Visitantes de Southcoast Health<\/a>, que sigui\u00f3 el plan de tratamiento prescrito por el Dr. Alonso y el equipo de tratamiento de heridas. Todos los mi\u00e9rcoles, durante 20 semanas, acudi\u00f3 para que le cambiaran el ap\u00f3sito de la herida en el tobillo. La Dra. Alonso y su equipo de enfermer\u00eda realizaban evaluaciones semanales y planes de tratamiento que comunicaban a la Southcoast VNA. Susan mejor\u00f3 y fue dada de alta en abril de 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A la Dra. Alonso la llamo mi \u00e1ngel. Es una persona cari\u00f1osa, divertida, c\u00e1lida y maravillosa\", dijo Susan. \"Su personal es incre\u00edble. Si la Dra. Alonso no me hubiera aceptado como paciente, no puedo imaginar el resultado, y le estar\u00e9 eternamente agradecida.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aunque Susan se ha recuperado de la infecci\u00f3n, sigue teniendo problemas. Las lesiones que sufri\u00f3 en el accidente a\u00fan le causan dolor. Pero ya no toma antibi\u00f3ticos ni analg\u00e9sicos, y est\u00e1 deseando pasar tiempo con su primera bisnieta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Susan est\u00e1 agradecida a todas y cada una de las personas que la ayudaron, incluidas las que le prepararon la comida y limpiaron su habitaci\u00f3n. \"La gente del centro de atenci\u00f3n de heridas te cuida como un padre, un abuelo. Eso te ayuda a curarte. Eso te reconforta. Un lugar maravilloso, y gente maravillosa\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
