One Of These Days

One of these days I will get back online maybe sheeeeeeeeeeesh I am so busy. Tomorrow Dad has an appointment with the surgeon that removed his leg. They were fixing to wrap his leg at the hospital he was in to go home Monday (yes he is home) and I said that drainage is NASTY and has a foul odor, there is bruising all around his leg, broken runny blisters. This was NOT like this on the weekend something is going on. I told the nurse that had him she was not wrapping it without someone else looking at it! The wound care nurses came down and stated they could culture it but would not have the results back since he was leaving and to see the surgeon before next week. I called the surgeon immediately Monday and told them what was going on and they got him in tomorrow A.M. He goes to his primary on Monday, me to my cardio doc on Wed. (still having the chest pains but the nitro is taking care of it), and him to the vascular surgeon to schedule the surgery on his right leg on Thursday. My back is killing me from helping dad. I have the nerves compressed in my lumbar spine that I had the steroid injections in last year. Today I went to the store and got him depends he is incontinent at night and Mom was up every hour last night changing his bed I got up at 4 after going to bed after 1 this morning so I am exhausted. I also went and got him a cushion for his wheelchair and put the riser on the toilet, put a cushion of my sofa in his recliner and man he is getting up so much better now. He has minimal assistance with the added height. Anyways I am crashing as I sit here. I love you all and thanks so much for your notes and prayers. Again I hope to be back soon I miss you all
Love and hugsssssssss
