Plastic Surgery bedsore
My father had multiple brain hemorrhage since 2009 which impacted his both sides. He is bedridden for 2 years now and got severe bedsore on both sides of the hip and some bone & fiber rod which was fitted inside hipbone during one of the surgery. Please let me know if you suggest if he should undergo plastic surgery to avoid further damage and for faster recovery?
