My Mom turns 81 tomorrow so we celebrated her birthday today. She loved opening those cards that play music. My sister in law got her a couple and she laughed and laughed. Still love to see her laugh! Applebee's is her favorite restaurant so we all went there. Yes, i went, but I sure was apprehensive. I thought maybe it would do me good to get out and yes, I guess it did. And no, my appetite has not diminished at all.
I have really been struggling this week. On Tuesday, Mary took me to IU Med Center for a cardiac catheterization. They ran a wire up my groin and then there's a hole left there. You have to keep it dry and clean so that it doesn't get infected. Well, since my belly is full of fluid, my hole pours out water. By the time i get the bandage attached, it's soaked -- even if I put a washcloth in, it's wringing wet before I even get my pants up. Not sure what to do
Also, I took off the bandage from the fluid drain (periocentisis), done the previous Friday and there were 2 blood spots. I changed the bandage 3 times today and each time, they were covered in blood. I will be contacting my doctor tomorrow to see what else I can do. I am out of solutions right now.
The meals and visits have been very much appreciated. Thank you to all of you.
Love, Lenette
p.s. Please keep those prayers coming. Ask God to help dry up this wound; that would help a lot of things right now.
