SHIFT CHANGE

Rich went back up to Granger last night, and my friend Denise from Lima took the handoff at the hospital and got me back here to the hotel, bathed, a good head scrub with a shampoo cap, and safely tucked in with my new little Gizmo doing its thing on the bedside.

Now, please forgive me, but I have been very very active today and need to grab a pain pill and snooze for a bit!

Clinic again tomorrow, and you can be darn sure I'll remember my go-bag and lots of pain meds...I am not looking forward to this dressing change!

  3. So glad you have good friends nearby, helping you on your way. A good friend, indeed, to help you have a SHAMPOO! A simple hair-washing means so very much.

  17. The only bad part of the vacuum change is when it’s turned back on and that for just 3 seconds. Ouch! But it could be worse
