I feel for ya. I fell off the roof of my house 3 years ago and shattered my heel bone. A surgeon operated and put in 2 little plates and 11 screws to hold the bone fragments in place. It got infected and drugs didn't work so he operated again and took out the hardware. During that surgery another doc put a catheter in my chest. I went back to the hospital every day for NINE weeks and got a bag of levaquin dripped in. The infection in the tissue cleared up but the wound still wouldn't heal. They did an MRI and found the BONE was infected. He operated a third time to scrape out the infected bone, but didn't get it all. I have a slit on the side of my foot that is draining a tiny amount of gunk constantly. Now that I'm on disability and have Medicare I can find another sawbones and see if he can get me fixed up.
Hope your guy gets over his mess soon.
