Keith and I saw Dr. Lu after dealing with these wounds for 2 weeks at home. There is some good healing but it will take about 6 more weeks to completely heal this way. We talked about a wound vac and that would help to decrease the time it will take to heal about a week or two. But the way that will get me to the end the quickest would be going back for minor surgery so he can clean out the area and re-stitch the area again. After many questions and a great deal of discussion we came to the decision that surgery is the way we wanted to go. It looks like I will go in for the surgery next week... now I am at the mercy of the OR schedule. We will see!
I am feeling more and more human each day! We are finding ways to help to get around comfortably and I can even begin to drive again which will be so cool! I have been up all day today with only two times putting my feet up to let my back calm down. I am finding the light at the end of the tunnel after having a few weeks I never thought it would show up again! This has been one of the toughest things I have faced and boy did it kick me down!
Who knows what is to come tomorrow but I am enjoying today!
