Still at Ball Hospital. I will probably be here a couple more days. Additional testing for transplant may occur on September 18 depending on what type of tests are being done. We will know more by Tuesday or Wednesday of this week.
I am very weak and have lost a lot of muscle so I am working with rehab to rebuild my strength.
The surgeon put a stitch and durabond on the wound from the cardiac catheterization. We are hoping that will stop the fluids from seeping. As I have tried to lie still, the bedsores and raw skin have given me much pain. Actually LOTS of pain! I can't describe how much they bother me. But I know I need to give the wound time to seal and I need to be up soon and build my strength...feels like a vicious circle!
Thanks for your prayers. Please pray that God will guide me through this next painful passage. I still struggle when I have to take a lot of pain meds because I don't want to be sleepy. But I know that if I stay ahead of the pain I will be more comfortable.
Your support continues to give me strength. I know I could not do this without all of you!
With Love,
Lenette
