Quick update

Felt pretty good today. While I did not move around a lot -- up and down the stairs 4 times or so, I did work most of the day which felt great and like I was accomplishing something. Amazing how a few phone calls and emails can fill your day. Thank goodness as it kept me for being really bored and I got a lot of stuff done even though I am light-years behind. Funny thing, thanks to many of you (and some amazing new products my company has) I am on goal for work for the year. I can't wait till I can get out of bed and see folks face to face.

I noticed a couple of eyelashes on my cheek this morning and I think the bottom ones are thinning out. I had hoped to skip that this time around. Drat!

Nurse Kathy came today and I have at least till Wednesday without the wound vac. She said there was about a 50/50 chance I may not have to use it again but somehow I doubt it. While it is getting smaller it is still about 3 cm wide so I am not optomistic. We had a heck of a time with the IV pump this weekend and it took 3.45 hours to pump 2 hours worth of fluid on Sunday. I just about went stir crazy lying here although Syd reminding me I would just be lying here anyway. Thanks Syd! I did not have to have fluids today but will tomorrow and hopefully that will be it.

I actually cooked dinner last night and was on my feet for over an hour straight. That was really big for me.

Now I am just focusing on not running fever this week and trying to stay our of Crawford Long!
Keep your fingers crossed!

Hey -- I just realized that other than the pain pill I took before nurse Kathy came, I have not had one all day!
