The wound vac is not bothering me as much today as yesterday. It still aches and is incredibly annoying to have to plug and unplug every time you move. I was a little more tired today than I have been, but having to adjust to the wound vac may have just kept me awake more during the night. I worked most of the day on the computer and phone, and did not even get cleaned up (can't shower till tomorrow before Nurse Kathy comes because of the wound vac) until about 3. Once I got up and dressed I did feel better.
I was even going to go to Publix to get something for dinner but as soon as I got in the car the sky openned up and it was just pouring. I tried to wait in out in the Publix parking lot but after about 30 minutes I went home. We will have something out of the freezer tonight!
To me there is not a lot of drainage in the wound vac so I really hope she will take it off tomorrow or Friday. It only weighs about 5 pounds but it is a pain to deal with. The noise is not bad at all anymore but just lugging it around is cumbersome, and you have to make sure the tubing is not caught on anything. I am not good about watching where I am going anyway, so that makes it all the worse. At least now it does not hurt as much.

Geri,
I sure hope that wound vac...goes away for good today or by Friday at least. I would be complaining much more than you have!! You are still such an inspiration to me. I am continuing to pray for you each day at bedtime. I hope the scans look good when you see the surgeon. So good to know you have been up and doing a little more...like cooking. Glad you still have your pain meds for when you need them. You will love having drawers that slide out. Bob is awesome!! Hoping Angie called ya about being a granny by now.
Love Angie's little sis,
Tina :))
