Quick Update!

Ok my Dad’s leg is looking TONS better. I am going to start putting on the shrinker again tomorrow. We went to the surgeon and he is supposed to do the surgery on his right leg prior to the 17th. I called his office today and left a message for Dr. A. to see what and when he was going to do it. He didn’t call back yet. Dad also pulled his shoulder on Saturday by not doing what he was told. To not rock and pull on the chair just raise himself up and scoot forward then stand (with help) and sit in the recliner/or the wheelchair. So all day Sunday and today I have been having to bodily lift him to a standing position to go to the bathroom or get in a chair. Well by late morning while going to sit on the toilet he was pulling backwards (instead of nose over toes and standing) and almost made me fall with him. So he killed my back and my arm!! Ughhhh I told him I was not suppose to be lifting on him and he HAD to stand because he hurt me. He apologized but was still up and down so much today that I am going to go to bed as soon as I write this. I apologize to all of you guys for not being able to keep up. I appreciate ALL your notes and thoughts. I love you guys but just don’t seem to have time for anything and not hardly even Kerry these days…
Let’s see…I also went back to my cardiologist and he started me on another blood pressure pill to go with the one I already take to help open up the blood vessels. He was also calling my cardiac surgeon that did the bypass to see about some other stuff to do for my legs. He stated the graft was open but there was something else going on past the bypass. He is suppose to be setting up a doppler study to see about the flow in my legs. We shall see when that will be and see if I can fit that in….lol
Anyways goodnight or have a great day whichever it may be and know I love you guys
Hugsssssssss
