I am exhausted but still living. rofl... He is doing better and is
managing to spread his pain meds half hour further apart which is good.
Saw the doctor today and he removed the outter banadages. He is now down
to a few pieces of gauze and stitches. The good news is that the doctor
was able to do the whole thing arthospoc.... [you spell that word] so
that there are only a couple tiny holes. Got the pics today as well, and
the rotator cuff was torn nearly completely --can't imagine how he was
using the arm at all. Dr. showed us the bone spurs which were to blaim
probably for sawing the tendon in half and those are now gone.And he
also did something called a mumford?? procedure which has something to
do with the collar bone. All is healing nicely.
I could not have done this without Home Instead helping me. They are
coming everyday for about three hours and doing laundry, trash,
dishwasher, changing beds, and loads of the like. The best thing is that
they are helping carry in the ice and any groceries I get everyday.
Going to work tomorrow and they will be here feeding him and handling
his ice.
Anyway, what I need most is sleep which I am missing due to getting up
around
3 am to give him a pill and tweek his ice. Four hours later I am up and
doing it again.
Tell the crowd, I am hanging in there.
