Pull A Rabbit Out Of My Hat...

No... just a need for pulling out something from the good vibes bag that my sweet cousin Janet put together for me.  It's been a quick week since my last post.  A difficult one.  My wound care is going well and I will continue with Dr. Kelley for a few more weeks.  She switched out the type of gauze I use over the ointment to a moist gauze to keep the beautiful little skin cells happy with regeneration.  If it's too dry it makes it too hard for them to come together.  One has to find the happy medium of not too dry and not too wet.  Your skin can't looks like you just took a nice long tub.  They of course use terms like "we don't want your gauze to migrate" = move around; and "your skin should not look mascerated" = too white & prune like after the tub.  This week was particularly challenging as my mom had a bad episode with pain and needed to be placed in a facility to help control it.  She is currently as Rochester Manor.  It was shocking to find that when she needed a bed one could not be found unless we wanted to her to be placed an hour away in Concord NH.  NOT feasible.  Childhood friend Jenn Manning to the rescue.  I called her and she helped us wrangle it all together.  God bless Jenn.  Thank you again for reaching out to us.  Your notes, emails, cards, calls, visits, hugs, kisses, and always the good vibes keep us well supported.  It's truly what is needed.
