Nurse was ecstatic that my wound had closed 1/2 mm in a week. It started at 4 mm. Maybe at 2 or 2.5 mm now. Dumb wound vac for at least 2 more weeks.
Then, switching to wet/dry dressings. That would still keep me homebound but I could sneak out a little to the grocery store or maybe even the office because I wouldn't have a tube running out my back and connected to this 5lb bowling ball!
Some work to do next week.Plus, they added a telehealth intake for the week after.
Still dreaming of my planned trip to Spain in October. I'm not ready to cancel it yet. Most of it depends on how high my medical bills are going to be and my back. What if my back is no better after all of this? Have to push this out of my head.
Weight holding at 242.something. I tried on a tee shirt I know I could wear before at 248. Still too clingy to my gut. I mentioned before that my body has changed and my fat has moved around so no telling how this will end. I did notice that my thighs are smaller. I've always lost butt and thighs first.
