Good evening friends.
Today was a day of mixed emotions. First JC and Mary arrived and brought a ton of light from the outside world. What a joy to have friends here with me. They will be spending the day tomorrow and I am most thankful.
Dr Syn came in today to change the wound (I have since named the wound from hell). He said the sides of the wound are not sticking together and therefore not closing as he had wished. He decided to try a new method of closing it. The good news is the new way does not have me hooked up to the vacuum drain so now I am free to get up and walk around - in fact he wants me to as much as I can. Fortunately my sister bought me a classy new robe when she was here so I can go for a walk and not shock the neighbors - even in Texas the moon isn't that big.
Dr. said that he really thinks that this should all be done in the next 2 weeks. There is the option of sending me home with the wound open and getting visiting nurses to come and change the wounds - but I am opting for staying here until he is happy and the wound is closed. After 1 big glitch - I am not in favor of another.
Well - that's the news for now - and I hope it is better tomorrow.
Hugs to all.
Chuck

I am glad you still can laugh. So happy that Mary and JC are there with you for a couple of days. Healing takes time my friend. Once you are past this part, things will get easier.
Thinking of you.

I am sorry you are having these complications but Dr. Syn is a great doctor and won't steer you wrong. You will be up and around and back in New Mexico before you know it!
Hugs,

See you're still very funny!
Your wound is really a blessing in progress. YOU KNOW. But here you are in your fabulous robe walking and gaining strength daily.
Happy you will stay put for awhile!
