So my wounds (on my butt, of course!) got really NASTY, so I was ambulanced to hospital on wound care nurse’s order to get them debrided (medical term for scraping out dead stuff/infection) in the OR. Been here since last Wed afternoon!!!! Debridement Friday went well.
No BM for 7 days, so gave me multiple diarrhea producing meds (delightful!). Now the diarrhea is contaminating wounds (despite bandages) and I now have 3 different bacteria growing in them!!! Two are intestinal bacteria (from diarrhea). Cleaning me up HURTS and triggers more NPA’s! Now they’re giving me imodium to stop the diarrhea they created! CRAZY!!
Supposed to be lying on side to allow wounds to heal, but you can only lie on your side and do NOTHING for so long!! Hurts neck to try to do much on phone while lying on side.
NEED to finish SCARS so I can go HOME!!!!
Lotsa good care, but pointless. Declined past 3 meals delivered cuz eating requires energy and interest I no longer have! Fuzzy’s queso and chips sustaining me. Supposedly going home tmor, but who knows, since they’re still trying to determine which antibiotic to send for me. Been bedridden whole time here, so can’t even get up to poop!! Won’t allow cuz afraid I’ll fall.
NPA’s much more frequent now! “God, make it STOP!!!” isn’t working! Neither is quoting multiple healing Scriptures any more. I spend them praying for Will Roberts, a 15-yr old fighting cancer whose faith and strength reveal what a weanie I am!! Follow his story at https://www.facebook.com/bamafix. So devil loses when he attacks: praying for someone else is more powerful than for myself!
Hospital bed that was ordered 2 weeks ago got canceled due to “confusion.” New provider working on it now. Supposedly, according to wound care DR, wounds should heal in 2 weeks if I keep off them and maintain wound care and various nutritional supplements to help. I’ve had various wounds since October, so believing the “two weeks” mantra is iffy! But still, NOBODY WILL JUST AMPUTATE MY BUTT!!!!
I can barely see to type (vertigo and ???) so ordered pair of STRONG reading glasses from Wmt. These Rx ones aren’t doing the trick!
Fun:
Kids went to Galveston and brought me back a cool turtle sculpture! Crush and Squirt from Finding Nemo.
Yes, I look horrible. Didn’t think to comb hair before pix! No longer care!
Gonna close to work on SCARS.
