Today is “revision” day. The persistent little wound which we think
caused all of the infection mess from the last few weeks finally turned
necrotic. If it were a fingernail
turning black, or some other un-used extremity, I’d say “live with it”, but –
of course with Tracy’s situation – that’s not a happening thing. So - a little swab swab, snip snip, tug tug, sew sew, swab swab, wrap wrap, and we're done. Again. I'm all for this, as I'd rather not have to use my Domestic Zombie fighting skills so soon, if you know what I mean?
And - a new procedure here in the OR – we were issued a Frequent Flyer card when we arrived. Apparently, five times in, and you get a free oven mitt. I think we’re there...
I’ll have an update posted later
today.
Oh, and I just want to point out,
that nowhere in the Merriam-Webster dictionary
does it speak to revision as used in the context of a surgical do-over. (see below)
