We went to the Heart Surgeon today..at 9 a.m. He took some of the staples out. Our next appointment is in three weeks to have the rest of the staples taken out of the leg. He had an infection when he left the hospital in his leg..and has been on antibiotic ever since. It is a tricky balance getting the fluid out..It seems the body is smarter than anyone, as he has been getting rid of his fluid, which swells the leg, even
through his heels..there will be a big puddle of water when he puts his feet on the floor for any length of time. He must keep his leg elevated part of the day. Sounds easy? It is tricky as he must go to physical
therapy two times a day also. Never mind, we enjoyed our time together from 8 a.m. when I picked him up until 1 p.m. when I checked him back in the rehab center. I fixed him a good lunch and we ate together. Then I went to the green grocery..and I will fix some of his favorites for lunch tomorrow. All veggies...remember? How are you coming along with your new food plan? Remember all the meds they give the cows and chickens..before you take your first bite! Hugs, phyllis www.women70andover.com
