You did very well to supervise and be present during your husband's healing process. Some members of the medical staff work very well, but others do everything reluctantly. Less than a year ago, my father developed a strange abscess just below his jaw. It grew a lot, and some doctors thought it might be cancer. For several days, we consulted different doctors. In the end, while we were trying to find the cause of this abscess, it burst, immediately causing an infection with Staphylococcus aureus, a bacterium that practically devours flesh, so the wound grew larger every day.

My father underwent minor surgery while being administered several antibiotics to prevent the infection from spreading and reaching his brain. When he came out of surgery, I took him home and called a nurse friend to take care of the healing process while I stayed with him. My friend did an incredible job. Every day there was significant progress, and with each bandage change, she explained everything she was doing. You have to be very meticulous to avoid aggravating the infection. She prepared a solution containing low doses of chlorine, I think it's called Dakin's solution or something like that, and used it to disinfect the entire wound after cleaning it, then applied the bandage. This process was done twice a day, my father healed completely in a month and did not need the reconstructive surgery that had been initially planned.

I thanked God profusely for reminding me of her and for agreeing to carry out the entire healing process for my father. She works treating serious or complex wounds at one of the hospitals in my city.

On the other hand, I was surprised by everything you said about the process your husband went through. I can imagine how painful the injury and everything else must be for him. I hope he recovers soon and regains more mobility. Best wishes, I hope you have a good week, @agmoore.
