Vound VAC

KCI V.A.C. Therapy

$134.00 a day (+supplies)

I pretty much wore this 24/7 for over a month. Only time it came off was to change the bandage 3 times a week.

Even though I absolutely hated it, I think this little machine is pretty ingenious. I believe a huge part of my successful recovery is due to this.

I don't know if it was a typo but I read "Vound Vac" with an Arnold Schwarzenegger accent and immediately... "it's not a tumah!"

Anyway- I used to work at a pediatric orthopedic clinic and the kids with large open wounds would have those and occasionally change their dressings in office... holy shize. That's a scent I'll never forget.

It really is a neat machine though! I love all things medical related and am continually amazed by the human body and how we're still trying to figure out how to fix our meat suits.
