HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE!
I started out the week just being tired and feeling off, no pain at all. I pushed through, but like last week, I went to bed super early because my body needed the rest. Again, I am behind on my reading and reviews, but doing my best.
Thursday, we met with a doctor at the infectious disease clinic. I am handling the antibiotics well and have 3 weeks of intravenous meds to go. Then she told us they would like to keep me on oral antibiotics after that for an undetermined length of time due to the recurring infection. I questioned the side effects, and she explained how the meds work and why I have a certain side effect to many of my meds in easy-to-understand language, which I appreciated. My kidneys and liver will have to be monitored closely, and that made me remember that my mother was on dialysis when she passed away, and I don’t want to follow her on that path. I am making a list of questions for my next appointment, I am doing some research, and a few friends have reached out who have been on antibiotics long-term. I need to make an educated decision.
Friday, we met with people at the hand and upper extremity clinic. They removed my bandages and splint, and said everything looks good. Mr. Dollycas took pictures but will not be sharing because it freaked me out, no need to share that. I was allowed to put some lotion on my dried-out arm as long as I stayed away from the incisions. It felt sooooo goooood. There was still a bit of swelling, so they didn’t remove any sutures. I was then handed off to Occupational Therapy, where they made me a new splint. They put large bandages over the incisions, put a cotton sleeve on my arm, attached the splint, and sent us on our way.
I return to both clinics in 2 weeks. The first appointment is at 8:15, and it’s over an hour to get there, so we will be up early. I just hope for good news and to get rid of this splint. The hand is mostly paralyzed, but you never realized how much you use an arm until you can’t. LOL
With my appointment, we were unable to attend Kaden’s track meet on Friday night, but were thrilled to receive his text telling us he through the discus 96 feet, a personal best.
HOW WAS YOUR WEEK?

Your Escape Into A Good Book Travel Agent
All in all, a very positive week…great!
Survival is important, I retired from a federal job, not that much pay but good benefits, when they had a reorg, I jumped from one job until they were going to do away with to another and another and made it to retirement. I wish your son well. You are one of the few people who I know who has more medical problems than I do! Wishing so much good health. Love, Carol
Good luck to your son in his new job. It’s great that he found a way to stay employed when the seemingly good prospects went bad. I hope your arm continues to get better.

Good for your son in planning ahead and finding something that will work for him. Good luck in his new job.
And I’m glad the antibiotics are working well. I hope you get good news on your next visit.
Good luck with your son and hope you’re feeling better soon.
