anyone heard from Brenda?
Hi, I am back and feeling a bit better. I got the infection taken out to the tune of 2 and a 1/2 to 3" deep. I now have a hole but at least the infection is gone. I am waiting to see if the visiting nurse is going to start coming out. I am hoping to hear something today. Otherwise I am going to have to either have Bill change it everyday (and watch him vomit....he has a very weak tummy) or go to the doctor's office everyday.
Jeez how I wish this whole nightmare was over and done with!

So glad to have you back Brenda. It's surprising how concerned we can get over someone we've never met. I guess in our old age we just care more. Life is more precious and living it well is the optimum.
My son had a cyst removed from his tailbone area (butt crack) last year and his wife couldn't stomach caring for it, so my 28 year old son came to Mommy and bared his butt. I had to remove the packing, clean out the hole and then repack it. I truly think I missed my calling. I should have been a nurse rather than an accountant and HR Rep. I love anything medical and watch it on TV all the time.
Well, I just got back from the library. I picked up another two JD Robb books and I want to get into them.
Feel better soon.
