I sent pictures of Dana's bruising and the state of her bandage to the doc yesterday and we got a call back from his nurse who invited us to come by and she'd have a look.
She replaced the bandage which really needed it. The external incision is probably 50% healed already. All the stiches are inside and they kind of glue the top part back together so the healing is rapid. Same as mine. But I did not have the bruising or inflamation. Not sure what that is about but her right leg has bruising all down it as the blood has settled all the way down to her heel. The nurse said that was normal as was the swelling. I was not at all worried but Dana needed to hear that. Just touching base with a medical type calmed the noise in her head.
She's doing fine. Working her way through the pain pills. She sees the doc next Wednesday and will be OK until then. I'm able to get out of the house and do stuff. She's mobile and fairly stable, just not fast. I do stuff for her when I'm here. She figures it out for herself when I'm not. Both are good.
I'm off in a bit to play pickleball. Friday is a different group. There are 28 people playing on six courts just rotating around and picking up game after game. I know most of the people which is weird. Weird for me to know so many people who are not customers. There are some pretty good players and the level with this group is a bit higher. I have to pay attention and work at it more than my other group.
Other than that I need to do some work on the front door to the chicken coop so that it will take a hinge. Then, maybe this weekend, we can get the pieces over to our house so I can assemble it and start finishing it out. The project has taken too long and needs to have an ending in sight.
