Update time.
Mar. 25th, 2009 06:17 amThings are looking much better. I am home.
I did have the surgery to get the ick out. My dressing has to be changed everyday and the pocket (where the ick was) packed lightly. It wasn't MRSA just a staph infection that still requires some heavy duty antibiotics.
They put the PICC line in Monday morning, there was no getting around that. Mark got trained last night how to prep and deliver my drugs. The meds have to be mixed up before I can have them. Wound care came by to change the dressing and teach Mark (he was less than thrilled about this part) as it was not usually their policy to come everyday. Just might have to this time. He'll do it if push comes to shove.
Still off the foot. I can cheat and walk on the heel, the surgery was on the ball of my foot. I have a handy dandy walker to get me around the house.
This puts such a crimp in my spring plans. But it is nice to be able to stay up and watch something on tv past 9 pm.
