Hi everyone,
I have had a great restful and relaxing day today. I had lots of visitors and actually slept 5 1/2 hrs. last evening without waking - think that is a first in many years!! Hopefully tonight will be equally as restful. I have had very good meals and excellent care. I was visited by the resident again this morning, two infectious disease specialists, and PT people today. The plan for the surgery is to have the head of the infectious disease dept. in with my surgeon tomorrow too. I am looking forward to the surgery and some closure on this and the start of the next step. They will culture some tissue tomorrow - probably put me back on vancomycin until they have the results of the culture and can treat even more specifically.
I spoke with the "home care" dept. today and we will have more info on that after surgery. There is a slim possibility that I might come home next w/end. If not, I may have to go to nursing home again for several days and then home. Keeping my fingers crossed - may even go back to Go Sport for therapy. I ran up my cell minutes way over last month, so now have a new plan with unlimited minutes 24/7.
I might not post tomorrow evening depending on how I come out of surgery, but should be back on tuesday. Talk to you all then!!
Thanks for thoughts and prayers! Carole
