Daily dressing with saline was done. Wound margins, observe for signs of complications and healing process were monitored. She has had an non- insulin dependent diabetes mellitus since nine years.
Mrs. Cartwright worked in an administrative position and retired at 67. She receives small pension for her daily living. She has been lived alone in own three room bedroom home. However, her alcohol intake has increased and dietary quality has decreased after retirement.
